Kanji

244 useful kanji words, by theme

Kanji are the third Japanese script: characters that carry a meaning, borrowed from Chinese. Here are the words taught in Katakana Rocks!, grouped by theme — the ones a beginner meets first, on signs, menus, tickets and in everyday conversation, plus a few expressions written in hiragana. Each comes with its reading in hiragana (the furigana above it) and in romaji.
