Which Kanji Should You Learn First?
With tens of thousands of kanji in existence (over 50,000 listed in some dictionaries!), it can be overwhelming to know where to start. Japanese elementary school students must tackle 1,026 characters which is still challenging.
Kanji Quest makes it simple by focusing on 381 essential kanji—carefully selected for everyday survival by the Kanji Teaching Methods Research Association.
Smart Categorization
The 381 kanji are organized into 14 practical categories, including hospital, school, traffic, nature, and more—making it easy to find and focus on what matters most.
Natural Writing Experience
Practice writing kanji just like on paper—by tracing each character with your finger. Perfect for visual and kinesthetic learners.
