Preface

Originally created as a PDF booklet, this guide was written in the fall 2025 semester at Texas Tech University to help students in its Japanese courses effectively study for kanji quizzes and tests. This revised web edition expands upon the existing content and aims to make the guide more accessible.

As an independent student creation, this guide does not reflect official departmental or instructor policy. Courses may change in the future, and course-specific information, like textbooks used, may become outdated. However, the strategies and resources provided here should remain useful regardless.

Please check with your instructor for the most up-to-date information.
