1. Set a goal of how many kanji you'd like to learn each day, and using proven learning techniques like spaced repetition, the app creates a personalized study plan based on what memories you need to strengthen.
2. Whether you're learning your first kanji, or skip 2000 to start, it adapts to your ability level and time commitments.
3. Kanji Garden teaches these characters together and tests you on their differences to ensure you know how to differentiate them from the start, saving a lot of pain down the road.
4. Kanji you forget will be reviewed more often, while enough correct reviews will fill up its progress ring—which means you won't review it again for a full year.
5. This allows you to maintain progress for hundreds and even thousands of kanji at once, while maintaining a reasonable amount to study each day.
6. Kanji Garden is built on a simple idea: Learn all the components for a kanji first.
7. Kanji Garden is designed from the ground up for Japanese as a second language learners.
8. Kanji Garden uses vocabulary words made of kanji you've already learned to test in context.
9. When you can break down a character into its components, even kanji with many strokes become easy to recognize.
10. Visualize your unlocked kanji history or upcoming reviews on the graph.
11. Or type in kanji readings to practice Japanese input.
1. But the free version only lets you learn 2 kanji at a time (and "learning" takes at least a week) which is far too slow to be counted as learning.
2. The free version limits how quickly you can progress, but that can be a good thing, especially if you're busy or you want to take your time learning kanji.
3. Having a white blank background and black text on top can be daunting or confusing 😊This has become one of my favorite tools for learning kanji, but it does have some flaws which I hope will be addressed.
4. Honestly, I like it more than wanikani because it's just easier to understand.This app is great! And I reccomend it for anyone learning kanji, but especially for people who have a hard time with consistent studying.
5. I cannot recommrnd it enough.This app helps you learn kanji in a similar way to WaniKani (which I also use because I like using multiple methods at once).
6. The simplicity makes it really easy to learn the kanji, the analytics are very pretty, and I can easily mix in whatever other kanji I learn out of order.
7. The only downside is, I want to pay for a subscription, but you can only do that with a Credit Card, not Google Play money :( otherwise I would have bought it already.If you're looking for an effective tool to help you memorize kanji, look no further.
8. Finally, it's missing audio samples for some of the most basic readings you encounter in the introductory kanji.If you're serious about learning kanji for the long run, this app is perfect.
9. I have tried a lot of kanji apps - this is one of my favorites.I love Kanji garden.
10. And I can't justify $5 a month to learn more when there's so many more kanji apps out there.
11. It's also the first I've ever used that let's you just mark a kanji as known, and not study the basics again.
