As an avid Japanese learner, I always wanted there to be a simple online trainer for learning kana, kanji and vocabulary by JLPT level. The app serves as a simpler alternative to Chase Colburn’s Kanji Study app, because Kanji Study was pretty complicated for me to use as a beginner and didn’t have a more streamlined way of learning kanji through simple, continuous repetition and rote memorization (also, Kanji Study requires you to pay to unlock its full content library).

So, I started working on a brand new, completely free and fully open-source app in recent months. It’s very new and still in its infant stages, but here are the features so far:

  • Full JLPT vocabulary and kanji coverage, with more than 1000+ levels for you to play
  • More than 25+ different fonts and font styles
  • More than 100+ different color themes, with the ability to add and upload your own custom backgrounds
  • 100% free and open-source, forever
  • All learning materials 100% AI-free, sourced from reputable sources and available for full download and inspection

If that sounds interesting to you, you’re welcome to try it out and provide some feedback: https://kanadojo.com/

GitHub just in case: https://github.com/lingdojo/kana-dojo

This website is amazing, I really like it! My only feedback would be some further simplifications for absolute beginners.

For instance when looking at kanji the kanji for one and person both show the romaji "hito" and I'm not sure why.

Why do some kanji have multiple romaji and some seem to be parts of the word? Ideally I could read the most common pronunciation at a glance.

Thank you for making this!
