How to Study This

Focus on compound kanji words (熟語) and their rendaku (voiced sound) variations, as well as tricky reading distinctions between similar kanji. Study kanji in context rather than isolated characters, using spaced repetition software (SRS) like Anki alongside N2 kanji drill books. Practice distinguishing phonetically similar kanji compounds that frequently appear in N2 exams.
