Langenscheidt Kanji & Kana Lehrbuch und Lexikon der Japanischen Schrift Hadamitzky, Wolfgang 1980 ff. ISBN 3468493916 |
Das Einsteigerbuch! Es war 1986 mein erstes Lehrbuch überhaupt,
und ich habe damit *ohne Lehrer* die Regeln dieser Schrift gelernt - das geht wirklich, im Gegensatz zu Arabisch,
denn die Regeln sind ziemlich klar und einfach! Für jedes der 1945 gebräuchlichen
Zeichen gibt es
die korrekte Reihenfolge der Striche und Verbindungen, dann das Druckbild und noch einige
Komposita. Ein echtes
Lexikon ist es aber nicht; dann wäre es 5-mal so dick ...
Die neue Auflage hat verbesserte Zeichen-Indices, die darauf Rücksicht nehmen, dass man viele Zeichen sehr leicht verwechseln kann. |
