This dictionary covers the 1,006 kanji from Jöyö Kanji that are taught in the first six grades in
the Japanese compulsory school. All the kanji presented are indexed by the On-kun reading, radical
and SKIP code.
The Japanese-Romanian Gakushū Kanji Dictionary is based on the Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary
(KALD) edited by Mr. Jack Halpern, which has already become established as a standard reference
work and enjoys an excellent reputation among scholars, educators, and learners of Japanese throughout
the world. Therefore, this dictionary incorporates most of features of its parent work, including
meanings, detailed character meanings, stroke order diagrams, numerous compounds and a speedy indexing
system for kanji identification.
The main goal of this dictionary is to facilitate an in-depth understanding of the fundamental 1,006
kanji, Gakushū Kanji (Educational kanji), from the compulsory Japanese school. In this way,
the learner is guided to a thorough understanding of how kanji are used in contemporary Japanese,
by providing instant access to a wealth of useful information on the meanings, readings, and compounds
for the most frequently used kanji.
An unique and representative feature of the dictionary is the core meaning, a concise keyword that
defines the most dominant meaning of the 1,006 fundamental Kanji used in the elementary Japanese
school. Each of these character is followed by in-depth meanings that clearly show how a few thousand
basic building blocks are combined to form countless compound words.
The core meaning is completed by the character meanings illustrated by numerous compounds and examples.
Thus, the core meaning and the character meanings act as an integrated unit built in a logically
and structured manner.
Another representative feature of this dictionary is the System of Kanji Indexing by Patterns (SKIP).
This system was developed and patented by Mr. Jack Halpern. SKIP is introduced in his kanji dictionaries
for ordering the main entries.
The advantage of this system is rendered by the facility of learning and easiness in use. Therefore
the characters might be determinated in a quick and accurate manner. Because of the efficiency
of the SKIP system, the Japanese-Romanian Gakushū Kanji Dictionary is a real and convenient learning
tool.
The modern linguistic theory and sophisticated information technology were also integrated in order
to create a dictionary that can be used by beginning and intermediate learners with equal ease and
pleasure.
