James W. Heisig - Remembering the Kanji 1 artwork Remembering the Kanji 1
A Complete Course on How Not to Forget the Meaning and Writing of Japanese Characters
James W. Heisig
Genre: Japanese Language Studies
Price: $8.99
Publish Date: April 15, 2023
Publisher: CP
Seller: James Heisig

Updated to include the 196 new kanji approved by the Japanese government in 2010 as “general-use” kanji, the sixth edition of this popular text aims to provide students with a simple method for correlating the writing and the meaning of Japanese characters in such a way as to make them both easy to remember. It is intended not only for the beginner, but also for the more advanced student looking for some relief from the constant frustration of forgetting how to write the kanji, or for a way to systematize what he or she already knows. The author begins with writing the kanji because―contrary to first impressions―it is in fact simpler than learning how to the pronounce them. By ordering the kanji according to their component parts or “primitive elements,” and then assigning each of these parts a distinct meaning with its own distinct image, the student is led to harness the powers of “imaginative memory” to learn the various combinations that make up the kanji. In addition, each kanji is given its own key word to represent the meaning, or one of the principal meanings, of that character. These key words provide the setting for a particular kanji’s “story,” whose protagonists are the primitive elements. In this way, one is able to complete in a few short months a task that would otherwise take years. Armed with the same skills as Chinese or Korean students, who know the meaning and writing of the kanji but not their Japanese pronunciations, one is then in a much better position to learn the readings (which are treated in a separate volume). Remembering the Kanji has helped tens of thousands of students advance towards literacy at their own pace, and to acquire a facility that traditional methods have long since given up on as all but impossible for those not raised with the kanji from childhood.

A high-quality summary of Michelle Zauner´s book Crying in H Mart, including chapter details and an analysis of the main themes of the original book. About the original book: Michelle Zauner proves herself to be far more than a talented singer, songwriter, and guitarist in this magnificent story of family, food, tragedy, and endurance. She tells of growing up in Eugene, Oregon, as one of the few Asian American students; of struggling with her mother's particular, high expectations of her; of painful adolescence; and of cherished months spent in her grandmother's tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond late at night over heaping plates of food. Her Koreanness grew increasingly remote as she grew up, relocating to the East Coast for college, finding work in the restaurant sector, and performing gigs with her nascent band—and meeting the man who would become her husband—even as she found the life she wanted to live. Michelle's identity was forced to cope when her mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer when she was twenty-five, and she was able to recover the gifts of taste, language, and history that her mother had given her. Zauner's voice is as vibrantly alive on the page as it is onstage, vivacious and plainspoken, poetic and honest. Crying at H Mart is a book to treasure, share, and reread, full of intimate experiences that will connect widely and be filled with family photos.

The Howells of Carbonear is a thoroughly researched and sweeping genealogy that traces the 375-year documented history of the Howell family of Carbonear, Newfoundland. The Howells were planters, who came to Newfoundland to fish but did not return to England at the end of the season, remaining “planted” in the province. The book highlights the family’s early hardships, including the many deaths that resulted from the harsh conditions of the fisheries. Pioneers of early Newfoundland, the tenacious, resourceful, and closeknit Howells depended on extended family for survival. Containing twenty-five years of research and supplemented by original wills, deeds, court and church records, photographs, interviews, and stories passed down through generations, The Howells of Carbonear represents an astounding achievement in family genealogy. Donald E. Howell traces a direct line from the resilience of his ancestors to the Howells of today, offering readers a rare and extensive glimpse into his family’s history and heritage. This book is a valuable heirloom for Howell family descendants and a fascinating read for anyone interested in Atlantic Canada’s rich history.

British to American English: A Dictionary and Guide to the English Language—perfect for every academician, whiz-kid or bookworm looking to conquer the language barrier. "The Americans are identical to the British in all respects except, of course, language." ~ Oscar Wilde Whether you're travelling to Great Britain or the United States of America, or you just want to understand the differences in our common language divided, this unique dictionary will answer all of your questions. The book contains a wide array of British terms and expressions and their American equivalents; coupled with a history of the language, numerous examples of its everyday usage such as making small talk, and customs and etiquette. BRITISH vs. AMERICAN ENGLISH. A LIFESAVER? The guide provides copious amounts of valuable material by covering the differences between the British and American English accents, pronunciation, grammar, spelling, as well as an A-Z on idioms, a glossary of common differences and variations in slang, and metaphors. The English language is a West Germanic language that was first spoken in early medieval England, and is now the global lingua franca. Travel back in time to find out how the earliest spoken dialects of English were brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers back in the 5th century. Explore how English is closely related to the Frisian languages, and learn how its vocabulary has been significantly altered by other Germanic languages, including Latin and in particular French, after the Norman conquest of England in the 11th century. Part language guide, part cultural study. It's a superb addition to every English language learner and linguists library. Filled with extensive quotations from authentic, real-life English from both sides of the pond (the Atlantic Ocean), this is an easy-to-follow, precise and organised guide which tackles the differences, and the similarities between the grammar of British and American speakers. The book is especially effective and useful for learners with no prior knowledge of linguistics, as it demonstrates the grammatical differences and provides a sound account of contemporary English in use. William compares the customs, manners, and practical scenarios of everyday life in the United Kingdom and the United States. Furthermore, he wraps up with a humorous list of expressions that in one country are innocent, but that can be quite vulgar or suggestive in the other. Two large glossaries help travellers translate from British to American English with meanings such as: Flick knife (switchblade) Fringe (bangs) Lorry (truck) Patience (solitaire) Peg (clothespin) Tollgate (turnpike) And more! Any visitor to Old Blighty or Uncle Sam can be brought right up to speed with the this handy A to Z on the most commonly used and the not so commonly used English words that can often cause confusion, bedlam, red faces and even cost you money if misused or misunderstood.

The fledgling problem solver invariably rushes in with solutions before taking time to define the problem being solved. Even experienced solvers, when subjected to social pressure, yield to this demand for haste. When they do, many solutions are found, but not necessarily to the problem at hand. Whether you are a novice or a veteran, this powerful little book will make you a more effective problem solver. Anyone involved in product and systems development will appreciate this practical illustrated guide, which was first published in 1982 and has since become a cult classic. Offering such insights as "A problem is a difference between things as desired and things as perceived," and "In spite of appearances, people seldom know what they want until you give them what they ask for," authors Don Gause and Jerry Weinberg provide an entertaining look at ways to improve one's thinking power. The book playfully instructs the reader first to identify the problem, second to determine the problem's owner, third to identify where the problem came from, and fourth to determine whether or not to solve it. Delightfully illustrated with 55 line drawings by Sally Cox, the book conveys a message that will change the way you think about projects and problems.

Thinner Leaner Stronger: The Simple Science of Building the  Ultimate Female Body - A Comprehensive Summary Before we begin, keep in mind that every single woman is beautiful in her own way with her own personality traits and unique physical appearance. The crucial thing of importance here is to know who you are for real. In every single aspect, beauty is not defined by the physical appearance, but what is inside that inner beauty. In consequence, every single person as an individual is beautiful with his or her differences. You are beautiful just like every other human being out there. You are beautiful in your own way thanks to your inner beauty, which is the most important feature of every human being. What you see in the mirror most certainly does not define you and your beauty. In addition, learning to accept yourself with all of your flaws is true beauty. As you honor every single part of yourself and as you realize that your inner beauty defines you, you get to work on what is outside. Keep in mind that true beauty comes from inside. Unfortunately, women tend to judge themselves based on what is outside, judging themselves according to what they see in the mirror or according to how other people see them. However, this is superficial beauty, which does not define you in any way. Beauty is not what you see in the mirror. Beauty is not the way you look. In fact, it has much more value than what we tend to perceive as beauty. The word itself has a greater meaning, which is not defined by someone’s facial features, someone’s body shape, or someone’s fashionable fashion style. The beauty in its pure meaning is that inner world which differs from one individual to another. Once you realize your inner beauty, your inner passion, and strengths, you can work on your superficial beauty, which is your body composition, which, once again, will not define you, but will make you healthier. We frequently compare one person to another examining their physical appearance. This is wrong as beauty absolutely lies in the eye of the viewer. We most certainly are not here to judge anyone based on what is outside and to think otherwise is extremely shallow and superficial. You will never think that one rose is more beautiful than another one. You will never say that one apple seems prettier than another one. Comparing these is absurd and the same goes with comparing one individual to another as everyone’s beauty is unique. The truth is that the universe is extremely diverse which makes it beautiful. It would be extremely boring if everyone looked the same. Each individual has its own place. We are not here to judge women on their physical appearance, on their stretch marks, cellulite or body hair. We are not here to judge someone on these superficial features that can look good on anyone who wears them with pride. In the West, organizations and companies make thousands of dollars feeding on these common women’s insecurities, but this most undeniably does not mean we have to believe in what they state. We have to see the beauty in everyone; every person is unique and different. Unfortunately, we frequently fail due to the modern world in which everything seems based on how one looks. For this reason, we fail to find that pure, inner beauty as we focus more on what is outside. Consequently, if you are a good person, if you have a good heart and a pure mind, there is no single person who can dispute your beauty. This is extremely important to state before we begin, as this book is not here to change the way you look. Yes, you are here to shed those additional pounds, to get back into shape. This is superficial, and there are more important things you need to work on, such as accepting yourself, accepting your inner beauty and what is inside. Losing weight is just one physical step that shapes your mind to think better of yourself. Hence, in addition to working on your physical appearance, you have to work on changing your mindset; you need to rewire how you think about your weight loss in order for it to serve you better in the long run. You need to embrace a healthier fitness outlook in order to enjoy that true fitness experience in a healthy way. You are beautiful, but if you do not respect yourself, if you do not feel confident in your skin, your beauty may be unseen by other people. You need to nourish what is inside you, you need to nourish your inner beauty in order to gain that confidence in yourself and be satisfied in your own skin. For this to happen, the very first step includes removing those common mental barriers as well as unhealthy beliefs you have about yourself which keep you from realizing your inner strength and your full potential. Hence, this book provides not only a simple 30-day challenge, which will lead you toward your desired weight, but also provides healthy weight loss habits, strategies for removing those mental blocks and much more which currently prevents you from living a healthy lifestyle. Before you get to the actual weight loss plan, you will explore positive affirmations that will absolutely boost your healthy living and fitness motivation. Moreover, you will explore different meditation techniques that will help you reduce your stress levels and bring you to that much-needed calm state. With these simple approaches, you get to finally tap into a stream of self-esteem and motivation that will help you kick-start not only your weight loss journey but also your healthy lifestyle journey in a completely empowering way. Once there, you will be able to truly love what you see in the mirror and you will be able to nourish both your body and mind.
