Fantastic App

This is a great app that has already been extremely helpful to me only after using it for a few days.I would like to make one suggestion though. Like thousands of other people I’m learning Japanese via Duolingo, and Kanji Teacher is particularly helpful in overcoming one of the biggest drawbacks with that platform, especially in regards to Japanese (and probably Mandarin), namely the inability to practice writing kanjis & hiragana/katakana.However it seems that not all kanjis used in the duolingo curriculum are present in Kanji Teacher - or maybe they are, but sometimes under different keywords and hence very hard to find. It would be tremendously beneficial to double-check and make sure that the dictionary supports those kanjis so that a Duolingo student can integrate writing practice as they go along. As I said, some are already present, but unfortunately many seem not to be.Obviously I have no way of knowing how much effort it would be to make this happen, especially given that KT is a free program, but I think it would make for a perfect companion app to go with DLs massive platform.

Everything in one app

I’ve been searching for a good app to master hiragana and katakana and to start learning kanji with, and I’m happy to say that I’ve finally found one. Not only does it teach you stroke order for everything I just mentioned (which is super important for telling kanji apart) but it analyzes where you put your strokes and even breaks it down to the radicals and their meaning in each kanji from N5-N1. It also has example sentences with audio and tests/games to quiz yourself on. You can find an app for stroke order, another for grammar, etc but this has everything in one. Sometimes I wonder why it’s free lol. Thank you so so much for such a beautiful app!

Love this app

Hello! I really love kanji teacher. Thank you so much for offering this to all of us! I had a question about the writing practice specifically. Currently, I have to choose which kanji I want to use for the practice. So I choose the jplt level which is great and then I pick one of the colored bars (new, good, ok, fail) and it seems like they each come up only once per practice session. I was wondering if you'd consider a weighted random system where every individual kanji gets a new score added every time you try it. The score depends on how well you reproduced it and that weighted score then gets somewhat randomized so any kanji could come up any time but the ones you fail come up more than most. Just a suggestion 😊. -Derik

Simple and extremely useful!

I’ve been using this app for several months now, and I really like it. Not many other Japanese learning apps offer the opportunity to add your own hints, mnemonics, etc., so the customization ability is very helpful. And it’s free! I’ve seen lesser apps want money for content that isn’t half as good as what this app has to offer. I’d spend a couple bucks on this.Something I thought of the other day: Could it be possible to mark kanji so that we have more than one “marked” deck? Basically, making our own decks, instead of just “marked” and “not marked”.Thank you for all your hard work on this!

Awesome Japanese app

First of all, this app is 100% free, which is great. It has all of the joyo kanji broken up by JLPT level. And it has Japanese vocab. You can test reading-vocab, or vocab-reading. Kun-kanji m, on-kanji, and the reverse. It has a larger answer grid option, which is nice for when you want more of a challenge. Only thing is I wish there was a way to study a JLPt level and alll the levels below that level too, at the same time. Also wish there were sound effects when you get right or wrong answer....but those are niggling requests for an app that’s free. Otherwise, this app is awesome, and is even more incredible that it’s free.update: thank you developer for replying :) yes starring them should help for now, I will try that. Otherwise your app is incredible.... it would still be awesome even if you charged for it imho. Also, maybe you could add additional vocabulary, with example sentences, as an in-app purchase? There are lots of apps that have the basic JLPT vocabulary but very few that offer more than that, built in to study. Your app is(still) highly recommended for anyone studying Japanese.

Excellent app for learning/practicing kanji

This application has so many great features including very strict but rewarding drawing tests. I was overwhelmed by all the content at first but I know I will appreciate it in the future as I keep learning more. I like the fact that there is no introductory learning portion. I other words, you learn by failing in the beginning, which has always been a good motivator at least for me for me. It definitely helps to have some background of hiragana and katakana before you start using the app but it is not necessary. In short, this is by far the best app I’ve found for the Japanese written language.

Needs more kanji

I use this app and another Japanese dictionary app to review RTK. This app is so wonderful that it allows you to practice writing out the kanji (corrects your written kanji, too) and being able to favorite a few that you want to focus on with flashcards. There are simple games for you to challenge yourself along with a timer and the layout is really appealing.The only problem I have with this is that there’s not all of the kanji from the latest RTK book and you can’t create multiple lists. I have to use my other dictionary app to create a personalized list of the kanji I’m learning but I’m not a fan of their SRS flashcards like I am with this one. Otherwise this app would be my go to if it had more kanji!

Amazing FREE app

This app does something similar to Kanji Garden (and many others that are more limited) but for free! It has a ton of kanji, writing practice, reading and meaning tests and spaced repetition. My only problem with it is that there's no way to deactivate the very disorienting wobbly animation for strokes in writing practice. There really should be an option to deactivate the stroke autocorrect or at least an option to make it happen only after you finish, since it can end up creating bad writing habits due to the motor/visual feedback mismatch. I'm aware that in practice mode you can see how you're writing but then it doesn't tell you if you did it well or not, so I'd rather be able to see what I'm doing on tests as I write, and not have to click a button to see how terrible my handwriting actually is.

Amazing app and dev

A very very throurough and entirely FREE app with a ton of kanji, writing tests, reading and meaning tests, it offers spaced repetition and even has listening practice with sentences. It's very useful for learning new characters and words, going beyond just practicing. It's also very customizable so you can tailor tests precisely according to your needs if you want to practice just a particular aspect.Edit: On top of it all the dev is super amazing and actually addresses feedback. On my original review I had commented about a pet peeve in regards to the stabilization feature and they swifly implemented granular options for it. I really appreciate it!

Good for refreshers

I’m just getting back to studying Japanese and this has been great for refreshing my memory, especially when it comes to writing. Something I’ve never really seen but would love for the developer to consider would be some sort of genkouyoushi mode. It’s great that you can change the settings for iPad to move the writing area to one side and not be making big, giant strokes. I’d love for the option of maybe 6-10 smaller boxes to show up so I can practice writing in a more natural size (like if you were writing a note for someone) and still get the feedback on stroke order/angles. I will admit that I’m not a fan of the stroke animation when you write. It’s weirdly unsettling, but you kinda get used to it after awhile.

Description

R.: »The best kanji app available.« B.: »Carefully crafted app. Very nice done.« S.: »I'm using this app every day, it's addicting. I have tried a lot of other apps, but this one I love!.« K.: »A blessing to those wanting to master Japanese reading and writing.« P.: »This is the best kanji learning app in the App Stores.« Kanji Teacher is free.

There's no advertising and no in-app purchases are necessary – it's just free, pure and simple. Kanji Teacher knows not only all the 2,136 jōyō kanjis and their readings, but also the 8,000 most common Japanese words and how to pronounce them. This unique combination enables you to learn the Kun- and On-readings of the kanjis and apply and test what you have learnt straight away: both how to read a word and how to write a word you know. Kanji Teacher has more features you'll love: ○ Practise your writing with Kanji Teacher! Every stroke is analysed: do the position, direction and order match up with the correct way of writing? Kanji Teacher helps you out with hints to begin with, but as you progress further you’ll be on your own. ○ Kanji Teacher is also a Kana teacher: learn how to read and write Hiragana and Katakana.  ○ Kanji Teacher comes with two dedicated tutors – one for Kana and one for Kanji. These tutors will accompany you through the entire learning process, explain Kanji Teacher, introduce new characters, present the tests and celebrate achievements. ○ Kanji Teacher uses multiple choice so you can be sure that you really do know the answer. And it also compiles the possible answers intelligently, ensuring that they all make sense and are similar to the correct answer, because Kanji Teacher is a teacher after all – it's strict, but this helps you learn more quickly. ○ Kanji Teacher uses a Leitner system so you can learn easy kanjis quickly and focus on the more difficult ones. ○ Kanji Teacher comes with around 6,000 sample sentences: Around 8,000 tests have been created based on these sentences, where the corresponding Kanji is omitted and has to be found. In addition you will find tests for 127 important geographical locations in Japan and over 1,300 Japanese first names and surnames together with their reading. ○ Kanjis can be grouped by JLPT level and school year and, most importantly, you can switch between both views without losing what you have already done. ○ Up to eight learning lists can be managed, searched, and the Kanas, Kanjis and radicals assigned. Additionally, Kanjis detailed in sections of popular textbooks and Kanken test groups can be assigned to one of these lists. ○ You can choose the correct answer, check it and move on to the next question with just one touch of the screen, which speeds up your learning and progress. ○ Kanji Teacher comes with Ulrike's Mnemonics, which were provided by Joy o' Kanji,a site where you can find playful, informative, photo-filled essays about each of the 2,136 Joyo Kanji. ○ Learning of radicals is supported in many different ways: with dedicated tests and an Analyze screen that shows which Kanjis are made up of them.
