Learn to read Japanese

漢字

The app teaches you how to read kanji — the main components of the Japanese writing system. You learn their meaning, reading, and how they are used in the most important vocabulary.

Fun

Kanji Bee is fun! You learn and review through a game-like interface. Forget about studying feeling like a chore.

Efficient

We use a spaced repetition algorithm for reviewing what you have learnt. Our review exercises actively test your memory — no need for self-assessment.

Convenient

Study anywhere, at any time. Have half a minute while waiting for the next train? Kanji Bee makes a difference!

Flexible

Use the built-in learning order, or choose your preferred alternative such as the Japanese school system, or frequency of use. You can declare proficiency level for a kanji — no need to start from scratch if you already know it.

Pre-requisites

No previous knowledge of kanji or Japanese vocabulary is required. We do however assume that you know hiragana and katakana fairly well.
