教育漢字

My latest goal is to learn the first three grades of 教育漢字 (educational kanji) before March. My next goal will be to learn the following three grades before some other realistic deadline.

教育漢字 is a non-coded character set containing 1,006 characters, which are taught to children in 小学校 (little school). The first three grades contain a total of 440 characters.

I’ve already learnt all of the characters in grade one (80 characters) - I only needed to learn one I didn’t recognise and a few I couldn’t remember how to write. Grade two (160 characters) looks like it may take a little more work.

Maybe when it gets closer to December I’ll start learning kanji based on JLPT character sets.
