Kanji-A-Day Practice Pad Volume 2 is enjoyable and motivating way to develop practical writing skills within the Japanese hiragana and katakana writing systems. Presented in a block format with 365 practice sheets--one per day for a year of learning--the practice pad uses basic instructions and has extra sheets of blank squared paper for further practice. The syllables are introduced in a logical order and the structured space around the edge of each page allows the user to first trace the shapes on top of the models, and then write the syllables and words independently. Used in conjunction, the first and second volumes of this series provide a solid foundation for anybody interested in mastering the kanji syllables essential for writing simple Japanese sentences.
