Chapter 2 Overview

Welcome to Chapter 2 of The Kanji Speedrun.

This chapter introduces Kanji 31–60 — but before we dive into the characters themselves, you'll learn the visual graphemes that make them up.

Just like we taught at the beginning of Chapter 1, graphemes are the building blocks of kanji, and learning them first will give you a huge head start.

Once you’ve gone through the graphemes, you’ll move on to the kanji.

Note: The kanji links below are meant for returning readers. If this is your first time in Chapter 2, be sure to start with the graphemes first — they’re essential for understanding what follows.
