E-Books →30-Day Mastery Confident Kanji Master the Fundamentals of Kanji in 30 Days

"I love Olly's work - and you will too!" - Barbara Oakley, PhD, Author of New York Times bestseller A Mind for Numbers
Most Japanese students try to learn Kanji through rules and memorisation. This doesn't work, and is extremely stressful for you as a learner. Why? Because there are lots of so-called "rules" to learn and it's impossible to hold them all in your head at the same time while writing or reading. It's also not a natural approach ... native speakers don't learn the language by constantly reminding themselves of complicated rules, after all!
With 30-Day Mastery: Confident Kanji you'll learn through example and context, just like native speakers do! The magic of learning through story is that your main focus is actually not on memorising complex rules... you concentrate on understanding the fundamentals and on enjoying the story! As you're reading the story, you will find that kanji characters will begin to make more logical sense, thus making your learning more organic. It doesn't happen right away - in fact it may take a couple of weeks for you to feel the real effects. But by the end of this book, you'll have a native-like command of Kanji fundamentals that will amaze you and your friends!
In this story, you will follow Hiro, a high-school student tired of his quiet life in a small village in West Japan. Little does he know that a seasonal typhoon will set him off on an adventure like no other...
