Simple Kanji

Stop memorizing isolated characters and start reading real Japanese. SimpleKanji is designed specifically for JLPT students who want to master all Jōyō Kanji the way they are actually used: in context.

Instead of showing you a standalone character and a list of abstract meanings, SimpleKanji teaches every kanji as part of a practical vocabulary word, complete with a real-world example sentence. As your knowledge grows, the app grows with you. By dynamically unlocking new vocabulary based on the kanji you already know, SimpleKanji ensures your study sessions are always highly efficient, relevant, and rewarding.

Why Choose SimpleKanji?
Context-Driven Learning: Never learn a kanji in isolation. Every character is tied to a specific word and an example sentence so you understand exactly how it functions in native Japanese.

Progressive Vocabulary Unlocking: The smarter you get, the more the app reveals. As you mark kanji as "Known" or "Learning," the Vocab section automatically introduces new words built entirely from characters you are already familiar with.

Comprehensive Testing: Put your knowledge to the test. Challenge yourself with tailored exams covering sentence reading, vocabulary translation, and listening comprehension.

Smart Spaced Repetition (SRS): The app’s intelligent algorithm tracks your progress behind the scenes, alerting you exactly when it is time to review words before you forget them.

Gamified Practice
