***ONE OF TOP 3 APPS ON PRODUCT HUNT***: https://www.producthunt.com/tech/kanji-ninja
Learn 1,006 kanjis (æ•™è‚²æ¼¢å— - you will know what it means quite soon :)) which Japanese schoolchildren learn for 6 years. With Kanji Ninja, by practicing for 30 minutes a day you should be able to do it much much quicker!
When Arman studied Japanese at Princeton, in addition to the class textbook he used two separate books just to learn reading and drawing kanjis: ‘Remembering the Kanji’ (James Heisig) and Kanji Pict-O-Graphix (Michael Rowley). He found it hard (and boring) to do it with books and started the search for the best Kanji learning app in the App Store. None of the apps he tried created the daily habit and they weren’t fun to use. In July 2015 he shared the idea with his younger brother Nurym who hacked together the first prototype. Then Daulet joined forces, improved upon the game and now after more than half a year we finally have something to share with the world.
We built this app after the frustration from dozens of apps we tried when learning to draw Japanese characters. All of them were plain boring & we would give up after a few days. With Kanji Ninja, our hope is that you will help billions of neural connections to be created and wouldn’t even notice how the time flew.
CURRENT FEATURES
* Learn kanji, the characters of written Japanese, on the go through engaging mini-sessions where you learn 3 characters at a time. Both stroke order and meaning.
* The built-in optical character recognition (OCR) engine can check whether you drew characters correctly or not.
* To help with memorization, we first show you the stroke order, then assist you when you’re drawing the kanji for the first time. Then we expect you can recall it on your own. The blank screen shouldn’t scare you ;) Don’t worry if you get it wrong. We’ll hold your hands until you master them all!
* All the kanjis are organized by levels. You can’t move on to the next level until you finish the current one.
* The ‘panikku’ (‘panic’) game where you have to recall & draw as many characters as possible in 40 seconds.
* The adaptive engine tracks your progress and prompts you to review kanjis at just the right time.
* Help your ninja pulse reach the new skies with every kanji learned and every ‘panikku' game played!
* Compete against other learners around the world on the global leaderboard!
We have a product roadmap to keep us busy for a long time.
NEAR FUTURE (a few exciting features we’re currently working on)
* Gameplay so that you learn Japanese characters the true Fruit Ninja style. With different weapons (katana, swords, knives, etc.) and different materials (leather, paper, wood, skin, etc.) to draw on.
* QuizUp style battles with friends to memorize the meaning of different kanjis. This is for students who just want to learn reading / recognizing kanjis w/o necessarily the ability to draw them.
* Badges, achievements, score multipliers in the ‘panic’ mode.
We don’t feel comfortable breaking your game flow and asking to review us on the App Store within the app, so we probably should do it here. If you have a minute, please leave us a review. It would mean a ton to us!
Become the Kanji Ninja (æ¼¢å—å¿è€…)!
