Title: Rich in useful compounds (SHORT review)
Review: This book makes learning and finding Kanji really simple.I've found quite a bit of kanji. The best thing about this dictionary is ALL the compounds. I've found for Kanji for YuGi (from Yu Gi Oh), because i knew the reading for it. I've found the Kanji on Goku's gi in this dictionary because i used the radical look up method. the stroke count look up method would have worked well also because its a really clear kanji.I'd recommend this book over the Kanji Learners Dictionary. Its somehow clearer. Plus you also get the meaning of radicals, which the aforementioned book doesn't do (from what i've seen). This is useful for a chunk of kanji. There are some radicals that have are have meanings that really make sense in the Kanji that use them. These are kinds of radicals are A LOT of Kanji. so you can make better associations in your head.That said, a nice compliment to that would be a book on Chinese character history. See how Linguistics impacts our lives?
