All in all it looks to me. I hope it has easier kanjis compared to the other games available.
But it looks like the game is IN Japanese... therefore you have to know kanji in order to learn more kanji?Â
Err, I don't think so. You should learn Japanese and Hiragana & Katakana. And then use this to learn Kanji.But it looks like the game is IN Japanese... therefore you have to know kanji in order to learn more kanji?Â
Maybe start from JLPT Level 3 onwards? The level 10 stuff is really basic but I wonder why I have to write my number '7' in two strokes in every JP title...
this one (kanken ds) is definitely the best! on level 10 it is REALLY easy! perfect for beginner!I want to try some Kanji learning software for my DS, is the best one available for someone who knows very little kanji? (I know around 30-50).
Afaik are you brits the only ones who write "7" with one stroke >_

Works 4x, Trim ROM.
I like this Kanji software more than the last one. Those were so easy to beat and didn't really do a good job of teaching new Kanji.

Well, I meant it teaches you the number of strokes rather than how to actually write a character.Haven't seen where it teaches the strokes..... it will ask you what the highlighted stroke is but is there a separate area i'm missing for stroke order?
Regarding the Japanese 7 vs 1 problem, Hard to explain without using pictures and hand gestures but....

If you write the top part of your 7 as a Katakana 'wa' (?) then curve it back as you normally would, it should come out 7 every time. Japanese people write 7 like this to avoid confusion with 1. 1 (One) can be confused with 7 (Seven) as some people draw the horizontal stroke on the one (1) and some don't (7).
This is the best software out there to teach Kanji at the moment though it's designed for Japanese people to prepare for the Kanji proficiency test (Kanji Kentei or Kanken for short). 10 (80 Kanji) being the easiest and 1 being the hardest (6000).
This is not to be confused with the Japanese Proficiency Test. It's a much higher level and you need to be able to write Kanji in context, something that the JPLT doesn't test.
