KanjiPictoGraphix: Essential Kanji Mnemonics for Learning Japanese combines proven mnemonics with gorgeous color illustrations in an insightful and elegant application for your iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.


Learning with Mnemonics

Japanese children traditionally learn kanji, the characters of written Japanese, by drawing each kanji repeatedly until it has been memorized. KanjiPictoGraphix offers a different, visual approach where vivid illustrations are used to associate a kanji with its meaning.

The idea is powerful, yet simple. Start with a drawing that closely resembles and captures the meaning of a kanji. Then, when seeing the kanji on its own, the drawing is recalled automatically, along with its associated meaning.

Kanji characters are often composed of symbolic elements which are visible in other related kanji. For example, the element of "fire" can be seen in the kanji characters for autumn, charcoal, burn, and extinguish. Within the application, these elements are thematically organized into groups such as "Nature", "Food", "Animals", "Human", and "Place". Exploring related kanji is easy with the intuitive filtering features.

KanjiPictoGraphix contains 611 of the Jōyō Kanji, the guide to characters compiled by the Japanese Ministry of Education. Learning these kanji is an excellent step towards mastering written Japanese. For each of these kanji, stroke diagrams are included, as well as the on yomi and kun yomi readings presented in both kana and romanji. Each kanji includes additional related vocabulary.

Perfect!

Does ecactly what its supposed to. This App Works alot better than RTK for me.

Not good

There is no furigana on Kanji compounds.

almost

put readings on vocabularies (vocab) romaji or kana.

Price

It is TOO EXPENSIVE for what it is. Furigana needed too. Glossy, but way OVERPRICED.

Vocab pronunciation missing

Indicating only the English meaning of the vocabulary without giving the kana/romaji pronunciation is a huge defect of this app.

no kana or romaji transcription, too bad

The app is nice and works as supposed but there is no pronunciation transcription (no kana, no romaji). I agree with MurNM: if this app was meant to be for students of japanese language, that feature cant really miss. Looking forward to an update.

Outstanding app - THE best app for learning kanji

Im a real user, BTW... I had the book for 1 year now but opened it only once or twice - no time and inconvenient to carry around. But bought this app immediately after it was launched. Price was a bit steep, but I wanted the app so badly to replace the book I never really used. Well designed app, great functionality, outstanding!!! It is well worth the price if youre serious about learning kanji. It is merely the price of an average meal and is worth every penny. Using this on a daily basis, wherever you are is invaluable and the knowledge will last and benefit one a lifetime. I was very frustrated for a long time waiting for this app and because of the lack of feedback regarding the missed release date (a promised on the website). But in the end it was worth the wait. Being able to study with this method whenever you have the chance and wherever you are is HUGE! Love the functionality, the graphics, the flow, the layout. Well thought out. Kudos to the designer/programmer!!! Now looking forward to more kanjis as I make my way through the 600+ currently available. Thank you for an awesome tool in learning Kanji!!!
