Kanji Box is the must-have app for any learner of Japanese. It’s great for building recognition of kanji from beginner to expert with all current JLPT levels plus a “sensei” level.
The great thing about the quiz and drill modes is that there's no self-judging whether you "know" or not, like with right or wrong buttons. When you tap the answer, it records your real answer and adjusts challenge levels accordingly.
- Vocabulary gives you an English word to match to the correct Japanese word.
- The reading section presents a word & you have to identify the correct reading from multiple choices.
- The kanji section drills kanji recognition with a challenge to input the missing kanji
- and drills on the meanings of kanji root-words.
- The quiz section is a time-limited response game. Answer fast to get more points. Too many wrong answers and you’re out! Addictive and fun!
- Kanji Box adapts to your level: if you keep getting something wrong, it will repeat it more often. It also puts similar-looking kanji in the multiple choice sets to trip you up and sharpen your kanji identification.
