Kanji Learning

7 comments

1. Ive found wanikani very helpful, but it’s only free for the first few levels

2. I use the Kanji Study app , All the N5 kanjis are free

3. I also go to classes, and since we follow genki I found genki kanji anki decks to be very useful. I use one that has the kanji and the vocabulary listed in genki + some additional vocabulary, I really like it! The deck uses data from wanikani, which I used too, and loved it, but I only did the free levels and stopped since I found it too expensive lol. The deck is called genkikani in case you’re interested.

4. Everyone recommends WaniKani for some reason, but I’m not paying a monthly subscription.

   My favorite method so far is using KKLC with the Anki deck. There is also the Kanji Study app which is pretty good.

5. I found Wright Juku Online useful. She’s on YouTube and she not only has videos that go over kanji, but videos with tips on how to study effectively. She also has a website where there are pdfs, flashcards using Quizlet, practice tests, and her version of JLPT mock tests.

   TokiniAndy, also on YouTube, has just started a video course for kanji. It’s a bit slow going though – 5 kanji a week – but I like how it’s done. He also has a website with access to an anki deck he made. Right now it’s just N5 with a few extra. I’m actually ahead of where he’s at, but I use the videos often for review and I really like his anki deck.

6. The KanjiTree app has it all, and it’s the best in my opinion.

7. If you use Heisig’s Remembering the Kanji, there a free SRS at https://kanji.koohii.com
