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.

Superb

arthur-san on

This is a superb app for helping you to learn and consolidate knowledge of both kanji and vocabulary. Having audio and writing practice in the mix is great ありがとうございました!

Extremely underrated app

xeverestx on

I am absolutely amazed on how this app is not more popular. There’s so many things that are easily accessible through this app all for free; thousands of tests, writing for kana and kanji and a heap more. It’s easy to use and I love how you can filter the tests too, it’s helped me learn Japanese way quicker than I used to.

The best Kanji app!

GaryJohnSenior on

This app is fantastic. It’s also free. I would have happily paid for it. You can’t go wrong. It’s also really addictive learning.

Amazing app for all levels of learning

gshjenfnd on

I went through the usual rush of downloading as many apps as possible to help me learn Japanese and then went through the process of deleting ones I found less helpful. This app stuck out instantly for not having any paid requirements (please don’t change this!!) and having not only the scripts, and an offline dictionary, but over 2000 kanji AND tons of words/sentences to learn! When learning all of these the app gives you multiple different ways to learn to help it stick in your head including reading both ways, AND writing (for kanji it even breaks down the different variants of readings e.g kun and on!!) Also it has mini games and tests as well as a section purely for practising writing at your own pace to see if the system will recognise it. Another amazing feature of this app is the ways you can adjust it to suit you ranging from making your own lists of words or kanji to learn (great for me who’s studying at school!) and also ordering the tests in JLPT order or school years! It’s great to modify as well as being super easy and not overwhelming! I am a little confused at the difference of some sections like the components and radicals in the ‘more’ section (there is a manual which is super helpful for the most part but it doesn’t explain what each section is [which isn’t really needed for most when the section is called ‘sentences’ lmao]) but I think that’s just me. It might be helpful to explain these sections in the manual though just to make the app even more idiot proof!! Other than that little tiny thing the app is amazing and im positive it will get me on track to getting an A* in my exam next April 🤞🤞

You only need this one app

yuribathory on

I speak Japanese but didn't use kanjis in the past 10 years. I was looking for an app to relearn them. All other apps are rubbish compared to this one. When learning kanji, writing is vital. This app gives you freedom to write any kanji as many times as you want. It teaches the on and kun reading, which is necessary to read on your own later. And one more advantage: it has tons of kanji compared to most popular apps which only teach N5 and N4 kanji.

Great

ItzDom on

Best Kanji App I’ve used yet

Brilliant!!

erilottie on

So glad I found this app, has helped me come such a long way in my reading and writing. Incredible that it’s free of charge and I’m so grateful! I highly recommend to anyone

Great little program

Caustictherapy on

The stroke order and placement on the screen can be a little strict and infuriating but I guess it does make for proper form, otherwise this is a very good program and is highly recommended, just be warned it doesn’t forgive lol

Amazing

defeatedbyabug on

To begin with I felt a bit lost and this app doesn’t seem that intuitive to use when your kanji knowledge is near 0. I have stuck with it and am slowly learning its full potential and really think this is the best kanji learning resource I have come across to date. So if you also feel a bit overwhelmed and lost, stick with it ! This is one of the best learning resources available and I am very grateful to the team that made it available.

Immediately engages you

A different Andrew on

Excellent lesson structure, writing exercises and feedback to show you exactly where you're going wrong. The tutor feature provides infinite uninterrupted learning until you decide you've had enough.
