Learn Basic 500 Kanji （No feedback)
Description
If you learn the basic 500 Kanji characters, you will be able read about 75% of written Japanese! Yes, we have about 2100 commonly used Kanji (Joyo Kanji), but 75 % of the Kanji used in novels, magazines, newspaper, etc. are only 500 Kanji. In this course, you will learn these 500 most frequently used Kanji!
Learning kanji involves two kinds of practice:
1. Drills and Memorization
2. Real-Life Interaction
In this course, you will not only practice individual Kanji, but you will also work through a variety of exercises to practice using them in a real-life context. Using Kanji in context reinforces the meanings of the kanji and will help you remember them better, just like how children in Japan learn Kanji!
About the lesson:
1. Drilling and Memorization
Most of the drills will be done as homework, but I will give you different kinds of useful tips to help you memorize the Kanji! During the lesson, I will go over each character and explain the components of the Kanji, such as "radicals", which help you understand the meanings of the Kanji. By analyzing the parts of each Kanji, sometimes you can guess the pronunciations as well. Also, Kanji are often associated with images, which may make it easier to remember the characters.
2. Real-Life Interaction
You will practice the Kanji using worksheets I provide during each lesson.The worksheets consist of a variety of practices, where you read and write Kanji in real life context. 
About the textbook:
"Basic Kanji Book Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 - Basic 500 Kanji"
Amazon.com
These are the must have textbooks if you want to start to systematically learn Kanji The newer editions are available, but there is not much difference between the two, so if you already own the older editions, you don't need to buy the new editions. (The new edition features a new layout, and has minor changes on the list of words or on/kun readings).
Important Notes:
-You have to be able to scan and submit your homework through email.
-You will not only practice reading but also writing Kanji in this course.
-You MUST know Hiragana & Katakana before taking this course.
-You MUST have a basic knowledge of the Japanese grammar structures. If you are a beginner, I recommend taking the grammar course first or at the same time. (→ Comprehensive Japanese Course)
