Learning Japanese Kanji
The merits in learning Kanji go further than just improving reading and writing skills.
Many Japanese words are made by combining two or three Kanji. These are called Kanji compound.
Kanji compounds are not only used as technical terms or literary words. Many Kanji compounds are frequently used in daily conversation.
Thus learning Kanji compounds also improves oral skills.
Kanji Overview & Important Bushu (Radical)
Japanese Kanji came from China in the 5th to the 6th centuries. Then later Hiragana and Katakana evolved to represent "readings" in Japanese. There are about 15,000 characters used in modern Japanese, out of over 50,000 that exists.

There may be more than one reading for single Kanji, but not all readings are frequently used.
With most Japanese Kanji, only one or two readings per character are frequently used.
So it is necessary to separate important Kanji from less important Kanji, important readings from less important readings and focus on the vital things in order to learn Kanji efficiently.
Based on the research CosCom developed a unique Kanji learning material, 2001.Kanji.Odyssey.
