Lesson 1 (Kanji)

This is the kanji session. Review each one carefully. Sentences in the dialouges and lessons will include the new kanji as they are introduced, so you can also use this as a reading reference.

(Note: Due to limits of technology, I do not have a way to show the proper method of writing each kanji (there is a certain way to write things), but a Google search can help you locate a good stroke order guide. :) )
