Japanese: online Kanji Practice

Hi all, Yumiko desu.

The semester is over and now it is time to keep practicing kanji. This website includes all the kanji that Japanese elementary school children learn. I think it will help you not forgetting kanji you have learned so far but also becoming familiar with new kanji. It is also interesting to see which kanji Japanese children learn from 1st grade to 6th grade. Have a great summer!

Japanese: Useful Kanji Website

Hi all, Junko desu.

Today, I wanted to share a useful kanji dictionary, Kanji Alive. Looking up kanji on dictionaries can be frustrating for students because most dictionaries can be searched only by pronunciations. But this website enables searching kanji from pronunciations, textbooks, meanings and etc. It also gives you vocab with the kanji.

Kanji website

Hi all, Junko desu.

Today I wanted to share a useful website for teaching/learning kanji (one of the Japanese characters), called "Kanji alive"
This is very useful because you can look up pronunciation, meaning, and vocabulary with the kanji very easily.
For example, choose "pronunciation", "onyomi(chinese reading)", then type whatever you want to look up. Let's say「先(sen)」. then all the kanji with pronunciation of "sen" comes up. So you just choose the one you want. If you click the kanji, the demonstration of stroke order comes up as well as meanings and vocabulary. Now you are Kanji master!
