🎉 Chapter 1 Complete! 🎉
Congratulations! You’ve finished your very first kanji chapter. That’s thirty new kanji under your belt. You’ve learned how graphemes work, connected kanji to culture, and taken a huge first step on your journey. I think you should be proud of yourself. This is a milestone worth celebrating!
Mei: You might be wondering — do we really have to figure out every single sentence right now?
Ken: Good question. Not yet. The sentences are mostly there to show you the kanji in action and give them some context.
Mei: So if you don’t get every single word, don’t panic. Just keep your eyes on the prize — the kanji meanings!
Ken: Exactly. Think of it like planting seeds. You’ve just planted thirty already.
Mei: And little by little, those seeds will sprout — and the words around them will start clicking into place.
