Learn Kanji by writing and reading it
Shodoku is a kanji learning app with a focus on context and clues. We focus on practicing both writing and reading each kanji while making at easy for you to remember the kanji without revealing it to you. We do that by providing a lot of words and sentences for each kanji as well as component elements of the kanji, its radical, meanings, readings, etc. The hope is that the additional context will make it easier for you to burn it into your memory such that you will be able to both recognize it, as well as start reading words with it right away.
This app is based onfree data. We collect to populate a database we then use to build smaller data asset files. The hope is that the app will remain relatively small to download and that users will only download as much data as they need. Keeping the app both small and fast.
