Writing 6.1 Recognizable and Readable Kanji
Here are the Kanji characters that you need to be able to recognize when you see them.
You must be able to understand what they mean and how they are read.
You will be seeing these Kanji throughout the rest of the course.
You do not need to know the stroke order or how to write them by hand for Japanese 10 but the stroke order videos are included (there is no audio in these videos) so you can see the characters in detail and in case you are interested in getting a head start (as you will need to know the stroke order and be able to write them in Japanese 20!).
