User reviews

Good but could be better

Spaced repetition / timed recall feature is good.
Updated option to answer on your own without selecting multiple choice is good.
Wish: Example sentences and other ways of reading each kanji should be available in the “review” mode and not just in the initial learning mode.

Response from developer

Thanks for this feedback. If you have the ‘Use example sentences’ turned on in the settings menu it will use the sentences in the review mode. Please let me know if there’s any issues with that at support@lulilanguages.com

한자배우기 유용한 어플

일본어 한자 어플 찾아헤매이다가 정착했습니다. 비슷한 모양의 한자들 모아져있어 비교도 되고 쓰기도 가능해서 획순연습하기 너무 좋아요. 게다가 복습하고 싶은 한자들은 따로 모아 공부할수도 있어서 제가 찾던 기능이 모두 있어요. 이건 공부해본 사람만이 만들수 있는 어플인듯 합니다!!

Kanjis Fáciles

La mejor app para aprender Kanjis. Fácil y divertida

SUPER

Franchement, meilleure application pour l’apprentissage des kanjis pour moi. J’en suis dingue. Je révise des que je peux. Très bien conçue. Je réalise à quel point (même si je le savais déjà, mais bon) que les kanjis constituent un "alphabet" à part entière et leur composition devient tellement logique. Parfait!!

Bonne application

L’apprentissage de la signification et de la calligraphie est vraiment bien pensé. Ce ne sont pas que des dessins, c’est vraiment un alphabet en soit et son apprentissage ne souffre pas d’approximation. C’est ce que j’apprécie.
