A simple app to help you learn Kanji Characters.

Using the Application

This application consists of 7 pages. A help page (this one), a page which lists the Radicals along with their definitions and 5 review pages where you can interact with the main application for learning Kanji and the Radicals. The first review page is for leaning the Radicals. The other 4 review pages are based on different Kanji lists which all overlap to some extent. The different lists are provided for reference and to make leaning a bit more interesting! You can plan your lessons by setting the range of Kanjis displayed. For instance 1-79 (LPT Level N5) or 613-979 (LPT Level N4).

Review Mode and Timer

You can put the app in review mode and test what you have learnt by viewing flash cards. Also, when interacting with the review pages the next Kanji can be displayed either manually or by starting the timer. The timer drop down menu initially displays "timer idle". You can start the timer by selecting one of the "start n" options. The numbers are in seconds! The timer can be halted by pressing the "stop" button. While the timer is running you can alter the delay or turn "Review Mode" on/off.

The 5 Review Pages

Each of the review pages is based on a different Kanji list, all of them compiled for educational purposes. The original list supplied with this application is no longer included because it was incomplete. This list has been replaced by the Heisig Kanji index.

1) Radicals Review

This page helps you learn the 214 Kanji Radicals. The number of stokes is also displayed next to the index.

2) Common Kanji

This page is intended for learning the most commonly occurring 2500 Kanji found in newspapers.

3) Heisig Kanji Index

This is a list of Kanji based on the Heisig index. Kanji whose Radicals appear in many other characters are shown earlier in the list which many would argue facilitates learning and is more effective than just learning the most common Kanji.

4) Jōyō Kanji

The Jōyō Kanji list was released by the Japanese Ministry of Education. The list used by this app contains 2,136 characters and was released in 2010. The Kanji Review page for Jōyō Kanji also displays the associated radical for each character next to its index.

5) JLPT Kanji List

The Japanese Language Proficiency Test, or JLPT, is a series of proficiency tests for non-native speakers. The JLPT has five levels. Level N5 is the most basic and Level N1 the most difficult. The number of Kanji occurring at each level and their indexes in the list used by this app are shown below.

JLPT Level N5 Kanji (79) indexes: 1 - 79
JLPT Level N4 Kanji (166) indexes: 80 - 245
JLPT Level N3 Kanji (367) indexes: 246 - 612
JLPT Level N2 Kanji (367) indexes: 613 - 979
JLPT Level N1 Kanji (1232) indexes: 980 - 2211
