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.

Thank you so much!

AdamC92 on

This is the best app I have found to get Kanji reps in without any fuss. It is also free! Thanks so much for making this learning tool available.

A work of art.

It’s obvious that this app is a labour of love and has been painstakingly developed. Beautiful user experience and high educational content. Essential with nothing superflous. Totally free, a gift to the world. Hat’s off to the developer!

Perfect app, 100% free plus no ads!

fghkiGAMEZZZZ on

Near-perfect app, 100% free and no ads! What more could I want? I love this app, as many I have tried have not been favouring to people who have previous knowledge, but not enough to be expert/intermediate, while others focus more on your credit card. One small suggestion is too add a feature to be able to turn off the auto correction when writing kana/kanji as it confuses me on certain characters. I don’t know if this feature is already implemented and I just can’t find it or not, but if you haven’t it might be a nice option. Another is the paper section. I noticed that the characters have to basically be centred perfectly or near-perfect, which got me ‘wrongs’ quite often, even if the character itself was practically perfect. These are just suggestions to improve on this app, although the app is very good at its current state and has helped more with my kana and kanji than many, many other apps. I now regularly use this and it has helped a lot with my kanji and katakana. Highly recommend this app to all Japanese learners. Also I can’t seem to find 私. Still, I really recommend it.

BEST APP EVER!!!!

This app teaches in many different ways, so that it is not repetitive and boring, they created the app so you can learn all the characters rather then study it. Im sure no app can beat this, its too good to exist, i wish more people know about this app. Blessed to know this exists

Best app for kanji learning and review

am-gems on

For some reason, I can’t put this app down. It gives me just what I need for study. Tried WaniKani. Made it up to 33%, then burned out and when trying to restart, even resetting almost everything, just too frustrating. Stumbled upon this and it is a joy to use. Doesn’t get in my way. Just what I need to refresh plus new vocabulary keeps it interesting.

don’t usually write reviews but this apps really good :) cannot believe it’s free, it’s such a useful supplementary learning/revising tool for hirigana, katakana, and kanji thank you :)

Typo

doublledd on

Re the character ‘a’, and the mnemonic word ‘Astronaut’, the underline is on the wrong letter. It’s shown as Astronaut but should be Astronaut.

RIDICULOUSLY good for any student of any level

I never really go out of my way to leave reviews on apps but I had to for this one because its just too good of an app! I was lost on where to start learning kanji before I downloaded this, but using Kanji Teacher has been really good for helping me structure and expedite my learning journey. I'm really excited to see how far I can go. Just one comment about the colours for the result graphs: I've been using this app for just under a month and I'm still not quite sure what the colours mean (I haven't been able to find information about how to interpret the results within the app). Still, I'm incredibly grateful to this dev and I seriously cannot believe this app is free (╹◡╹)♡

Fabulous

Looks fabulous and is fabulous but it is unclear if it can be an offline app as it does not say please respond.

The best app

Topfairy on

This app is great. Everything about it provides good opportunity for any type of study, whether you want to go slow or fast. It includes writing practice as well as lots of games. The best thing is that it’s all free!
