Title: Bad Approach
Review: The only thing this book is good for is identifying the roots of little kanji that fit into big kanji. btw, this is not educational, it's just interesting. There are WAY too many kanji of esoteric words. this would move the 2000 kanji down to about 500 or so.Also, the definitions are in english. This is completely the wrong way to learn, you should learn the japanese word for it and then learn what that japanese word means, it's much more useful to relate it to japanese, then you would think in japanese, and not in english. the whole point of learning a new language is to think in a new way, not to fall back on english every step of the way.Finally, most of the stories are ridiculously stupid. and I find it offensive how a good number of them refer to the bible.
