Skritter: Write Japanese

SKRITTER - THE WRITE WAY TO LEARN JAPANESE AND CHINESE Remember every character you learn. Most Japanese apps ask you to recognize kanji. Skritter asks you to write them, because writing is one of the fastest ways to make a character stick in your long-term memory. When you write a character, you recall every part of it, so the next time you see it, you really know it. Self-studying or taking classes? Learn Japanese with JLPT and textbook word lists, from your first hiragana and katakana to thousands of kanji. WHY WRITING MAKES CHARACTERS STICK In Skritter you recall each kanji and kana in full, stroke by stroke, with instant feedback on your stroke order. This active recall is why our learners remember what they study. REMEMBER EVERY CHARACTER YOU LEARN Our brains are actively trying to forget what we learn each day, so we combat that with our spaced repetition system (SRS). Your Japanese flashcards are scheduled for review just before you forget them, so you practice what is slipping. Study smarter, not harder. Daily reminders keep the habit going and stop reviews piling up. A few minutes a day keeps you on track, and over months that adds up to thousands of kanji. START WITH HIRAGANA AND KATAKANA Japanese is written in three scripts: hiragana, katakana and kanji. Start with our Learn Hiragana and Learn Katakana decks, with mnemonics that link each kana's shape to its sound. Then move on to kanji with a solid foundation. TEST PREP: JLPT - JLPT vocabulary decks by level, from N5 to N1 - Study the kanji and words for your target level, then review them with SRS until test day STUDY YOUR OWN TEXTBOOK We cover popular Japanese textbook series, chapter by chapter. Find your textbook, jump to your chapter, study this week's kanji tonight.
