Six ideas before reading a single sign: what hiragana, katakana and kanji are; the five vowels; how the table is built by rows; stroke order; how Japanese sounds, with no stress accent and with long vowels; and what a kanji is and why it is not scary. The first three are readings; the next three carry an easy question. Each one ends where the next card begins: tracing with your finger what you have just read.
