There are total of 160 Kanji in Grade-2.
The Kanji lists are provided in a table that contains Kanji and its OnYomi, KunYomi and Meaning. OnYomi and KunYomi represents reading of a Kanji. In most of the cases, if a Kanji is used alone, then the KunYomi reading is used and if that Kanji is combined with another Kanji then OnYomi reading is used.
I have divided these Kanji into different groups.
This helped me learn faster and repeated revision in intervals helped retain the knowledge.
NOTE: The below list, which has 160 Kanji are unique to Grade-2 ONLY - meaning it is not cumulative of Grade-1 to Grade-2 Kanji. If you would like to access cumulative of Grade-1 to Grade-2 Kanji, click here.
