In this lesson, we learn the kanji from Chapter 3 of your text, and a few others that will be helpful. We also discuss what radicals are, and how we will use radicals to remember the kanji. Kanji and radicals introduced are: 一、二、三、四、五、六、七、八、九、十、百、千、口、円、土、寺、日、時、白、冂、亠、儿

You can watch the lesson online, or download it from iTunes (search the iTunes Music Store for "Genkier"). Please note that due to the visual nature of this podcast, I'm not releasing an MP3 version, only the "enhanced" version.
