Tobira: Power Up Your Kanji

Power Up Your Kanji is a text designed to help students increase their kanji fluency. With it, students can study a total of 800 kanji-the 297 kanji generally introduced in beginning-level textbooks and an additional 503 kanji introduced in Tobira, with a focus on those characters that appear at Level 2 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (as of 2009). The aim of this book is not simply to have students memorize each kanji; it is also to help them learn how to study kanji effectively and to provide them with the kanji knowledge required to continue their studies at the advanced level.
