Review: More helpful than I anticipated! - This is a really good book to have if you're learning kanji. With the included exercises I remember more kanji with this book than any other I've had so far. Though, if you are a beginner and learning kanji, It's a good idea to get the first volume too, because in this book it already expects you to know at least the 250 kanji from the first volume. Review: Great, informative book - Great book, it has been helping me learn.

Its a good book but.....
These are books are good but its title is misleading. The books are for everyday Kanji but not for everyday OUTSIDE JAPAN. Most of the things pertain to how to live, work, go to school, rent an apartment and grocery shop **in Japan**, so if you are looking for something that is about life in general, then this is not it. Having said that, the books are not a total waste of time and money, hence the 3 stars, especially if your goal is to someday go to Japan to live or work. They do have some good basic Kanji that can be applied to everywhere, like rice, water, bath, reading labels, certain foods, etc. So they are ok books to get the extra vocabulary in but as far applying most of it to people outside Japan, they are useless in that respect. I am liking them because I can use them for the extra input of vocabulary, as there seems to not be any Japanese books out that focus on just learning new vocabulary, sadly.

Nice addition to your Japanese studies
Good way to help you learn to read and write kanji. This is a perfect compliment to self study or classes, and of course lots of practice. The background on the kanji and radicals is not only interesting but definitely helps in understanding the meaning of kanji.

Good book for basic kanji
Follows on nicely from vol 1 in exactly the same style. You will need a solid basic understanding of grammar and vocabulary to get the most out of it. One problem is the size of the script- I need a magnifying glass to see some of the kanji.
