Kanji Teacher - Learn Japanese 4+

This is a great app that has already been extremely helpful to me only after using it for a few days.

I would like to make one suggestion though. Like thousands of other people I’m learning Japanese via Duolingo, and Kanji Teacher is particularly helpful in overcoming one of the biggest drawbacks with that platform, especially in regards to Japanese (and probably Mandarin), namely the inability to practice writing kanjis & hiragana/katakana.
However it seems that not all kanjis used in the duolingo curriculum are present in Kanji Teacher - or maybe they are, but sometimes under different keywords and hence very hard to find. It would be tremendously beneficial to double-check and make sure that the dictionary supports those kanjis so that a Duolingo student can integrate writing practice as they go along. As I said, some are already present, but unfortunately many seem not to be.
Obviously I have no way of knowing how much effort it would be to make this happen, especially given that KT is a free program, but I think it would make for a perfect companion app to go with DLs massive platform.

Thank you very much for your feedback! Could you give me a hint, what Kanjis from Duolingo are missing? A brief mail to kanji_teacher@rusche.ch would be great! Thank you!

I have a LOT of Japanese kanji and grammar learning apps, have paid for other more expensive ones, and for some reason THIS one is my favorite. It challenges me enough with all the vocabulary yet it also steers me in the right direction memorizing the onyomi and kunyomi - I added more squares to make it a little more difficult to find the answers, and I find myself pronouncing all the selections before I choose them. I’m still figuring out how to make a selective list or deck that goes through the exact ones I’m struggling with. I want to drill them a lot harder instead of continuously moving along. I suspect that is what the lists are but I still get new stuff thrown in even when I select them. I’m sure it is me.

It’s a really great app. Complement it with heavier writing apps to get used to writing them correctly. Or, use a genkouyoshi notebook to literally practice by hand as you move along in the tests.

PLEASE keep updating and enhancing this app. It’s amazing. Thank you.

Thank you for your motivating feedback! 

I am currently working on a setting where the Tutor presents you all the marked kanjis that you want to practice intensively every day. And: please use SETTINGS > Tutor > Number of new tests > OFF if you do not want the tutor to add new kanjis.

Hello! I really love kanji teacher. Thank you so much for offering this to all of us! I had a question about the writing practice specifically. Currently, I have to choose which kanji I want to use for the practice. So I choose the jplt level which is great and then I pick one of the colored bars (new, good, ok, fail) and it seems like they each come up only once per practice session. I was wondering if you'd consider a weighted random system where every individual kanji gets a new score added every time you try it. The score depends on how well you reproduced it and that weighted score then gets somewhat randomized so any kanji could come up any time but the ones you fail come up more than most. Just a suggestion 😊.

You might also try the tutor, it's available for Kanas and Kanjis: you start it with the button at the bottom of the respective screen. After that the tutor takes control and shows the Kanas or Kanjis in a quite sophisticated order, depending on time and last correct answer. You can adjust the tutor in the settings in many ways, but mostly the default setting fits quite well.
