Beneath the notorious inconsistencies in the way the Japanese language has come to pronounce the characters it received from China in the fifth century, there lies a solid and rather ample base of coherent patterns. Discovering these patterns can reduce to a minimum the time spent in brute memorization of sounds unrelated to written forms. Volume II of REMEMBERING THE KANJI takes you step by step through the varieties of phonetic pattern and offers helpful hints for learning kanji that resist systematization.

PREFACE A single sheet of paper can be turned into any imaginative figure even by a small child. This is the charm of origami. It has developed children’s creativity and dexterity for generations. There have been numerous traditional origami models, some of which are not seen any more. It is surprising that those centuries-old models often represent the most distinctive forms we can think of nowadays. In this book I introduce traditional models with a little twist to show them off, along with new creations. I hope you will share the joy of origami, doing it your way, or possibly creating innovative designs.

Paul and Yuko Swanson have done students of English and Japanese a remarkable good turn. Where other textbook authors have concentrated on making language-learning so complex that only a school curriculum can handle it, or so simple that you can teach yourself, the Swansons have given intelligent aid to an alternative model of education: learn-yourself-by-teaching-someone-else. Obviously, exchanging languages works. Bulletin boards and classified ads across the country carry messages just like the title of this book. For despite the best efforts of professionals to expropriate conversational skills for their own field of specialization, there is no denying the basic fact that we are all experts in the language we were born with. What the Swansons have done is to provide some basic organization to that native expertise, while maintaining the informal setting that makes exchanging languages so appealing. As a quick glance through these pages will show, the language-patterns and drills are based on ordinary conversation, and the helpful "Culture Notes" are drawn from everyday experience. There is nothing artificial or bookish about them. In this sense, it is the kind of book that only bi-lingual and bi-cultural folk like Paul and Yuko Swanson could have written. The Japan Publications Trading Company is to be congratulated for supporting this effort at helping students of language of all ages to do better what they are already doing well.

This guide uses "imaginative memory" to learn katakana, wriate them more fluently, and enjoy the learning process more than through rote memorization.The katakana are arranged here in their Japanese dictionary order, and not in the order in which you will learn them. Instructions at the bottom of each page will ask you to skip backwards and forwards through the book, following the best "learning order." Not only does this prevent you from learning the katakana in an artificial sequence, but leaves you with an easy-to-search reference book when you are done.
