Kanji Training Game

Playing this currently on steam deck runs smooth fun story and helps with learning kanji. no brainer for everyone who wants to learn japanese.

1st, I have been using this mostly to study Hiragana. It's unfortunate because there is potential here. I have attempted to use this to study but without there being options to choose what is allowed into the memory game, I cannot control what happens. I also find it deeply unsatisfying that the game gives you a score before you have matched up all the letters. Maybe I am just too slow at it, but like I good memory game I want to clear the board. Finally, I think you need to learn these letters in a context. Knowing the letters for "I" and "Nu" are useful, but they don't seem to stick without some association or need. Learning that "Inu" is dog helps give meaning to a string of foreign characters.

A good game if you want to test your knowledge. Would've hoped to be more entertaining, but it's a good program to have on your PC for when you want to study offline, or undistracted from all the internet jibber-jabber

Very useful for recognition practice of kanji, hiragana and katakana.

◎ - I would say as I write this, this is the best Japanese teaching tool on Steam, although that is not saying much ○ - There seems to be a nice variety of kanji, although it's hard to say how many are included because it doesn't show you the whole list. - It's good that you can still see the kanji after you answered it so you can keep reviewing it while you are still on the page. × - There is not much gamification features. It gives you a grade for how well you did but it doesn't seem to save it anywhere. There is no tracking for what you need to work on or what is too easy. - I can't customize it to work on my strengths or weaknesses. I can only study whatever random kanji the game gives me. - It doesn't teach you how to write the kanji. An animation gif for each kanji would be very nice. - There are 6 kanji levels but it doesn't tell you what the meanings of levels or how many/what kanji is included - The Steam page says there are only 1,006 which includes hiragana and katakana. Why not include all of the kanji that everyone needs to know? This game seems unfinished.

This is a fun game to play, and it makes a good supplement while you are learning Japanese (it really can't hurt). If one is serious about studying Japanese, they should be working on a real course, reading a real book like the Genki series, but this game is a fun thing to play on the side.

really good if you want to learn those kanjis
