Price History of Kanji Book

Description of Kanji Book

I built Kanji Book to aid in my own learning of kanji. I wanted something that would let me learn the 2136 jōyō kanji at my own pace. I was inspired by Japanese style journals which extensively use highlighters and stickers to brighten up the otherwise dull contents. In Kanji Book, you'll build your own workbook which tracks your progress visually. You can learn as many kanji as you want each day. I find that 2 or 3 is a good cadence. I tend to play 3 or 4 times a day, whenever I can find a spare 5 minutes. I try to use my phone as a tool, not a distraction. I hope you find some value in Kanji Book. Let me know how many you learn! As you play, the language of the workbook changes to reflect your knowledge. Practice all aspects of kanji: readings, drawing, recall, definition, and recollection. Use your Kanji Book as simple flashcards or test yourself with 25 random questions. Once you have enough kanji to form compound kanji vocabulary words, you'll end each session with a grid of kanji which you can use to form vocabulary words.

Reviews of Kanji Book

  • Trash

    Very unhelpful. Doesn’t provide name of the kanji. Also when your stuck with 29 kanji to try and figure out a compound pair, the hint is worse then useless. Try giving it to the person MAYBE? so they do t have to quit and retry it again and again

    Developer Response

    Hi, you can press the hint button once to see a hint in English and you can press it again to see the exact kanji to use. Kanji Book took me a while to make and I give it away for free. I'm sorry you found it to be trash.
  • Feature request…

    I love how straightforward this app is…but s couple more features would take it to another level:
    1) Regarding the stroke hints, if a kanji has a radical that’s been previously taught, give that radical/kanji as a hint. Even native Japanese speakers learn kanji based on component radicals.
    2) The ability to edit my list and add kanji learned outside the app. I’ve learned so many new kanji since starting to use this app and it’d be cool to see that reflected.

    Developer Response

    Thanks cfl789! Great feedback. I added the compound words as another activity so it wasn't all just flash cards, but you're right that it could be improved. Studying is tough! I use DuoLingo in addition to my app and a few others. Good luck on your journey!
  • Super efficient!

    This has helped me so much and has given me a lot of motivation! I really recommend it if you want a fast and efficient way of learning kanji!
