100 Essential Kanji Workbook — JLPT N5 & N4 Stroke Order & Writing Practice (Digital, Volume 1)

The 100 Essential Kanji Workbook teaches the first hundred characters of the JLPT N5 and N4 syllabus. It is a digital, write-on workbook you keep in GoodNotes, Notability, or Noteshelf and return to as often as you like. Every character is built in front of you — drawn one stroke at a time, with the reading and a pair of real vocabulary words alongside it.

What's inside

- 100 essential kanji from the JLPT N5 and N4 syllabus, in an order that builds from the simplest characters upward.

- Progressive stroke build-up: you watch each character form one stroke at a time, the current stroke in red, with a directional arrow on every stroke — no guessing which way a line is drawn.

- 1,900 practice boxes: guided tracing first, then freehand, with enough repetition to build real muscle memory.

- Two real vocabulary compounds per character.

- Hyperlinked navigation and side tabs — move between any section with a tap.

How it works

This is a digital PDF, made to be written on again and again. Save it to your tablet, open it in a handwriting app, and write directly in the boxes with your stylus. Erase your strokes and repeat; the faint traced guides stay in place underneath. If you prefer paper, print any page at full size on US Letter or A4.

Who it's for

Self-directed learners working toward JLPT N5 and N4, and anyone who wants to write kanji by hand with correct stroke order.
