Japanese for Busy People
The Japanese for Busy People textbook series from AJALT,
the Association of Japanese Language
Teachers, is one of the most widely-used series of graded textbooks for learning Japanese.
Kanshudo's creator used it himself!
Here we present a series of collections of the kanji
introduced in the second edition of each of the three textbooks.
For each collection, you can
quickly create flashcards so you can study the kanji on your computer or smartphone.
Book I
Book I mostly avoids kanji, presenting words that would normally be written with kanji in either kana or
romaji (depending on
which version you buy). At the front of the book is a section showing commonly-encountered signs, and an
appendix includes 20 of the simplest kanji.
