KANJI via Memory

If you dropped by a Japanese-style restaurant in Japan, such as Izakaya (Japanese-style pub), Ryo-tei (Japanese restaurant), buckwheat noodle restaurant, you would probably see price on a menu that is written in Kanji (Chinese characters). Then, this app would come in hoping to help you to read how much it is naturally.

The app covers some letters of KANJI number, such as [one] to [ten], [hundred], [thousand], [ten thousand], [hundred thousand], which are basic Kanji numbers, and shows how to read and write.

When you saw a list of Kanji numbers page in the app, you would notice to associate Kanji numbers from one to ten with English numbers from one to ten respectively though; there is not any Kanji numbers associating with eleven, for example. Then this app comes in to learn how to write it, such as if you wanted to write “eleven” in Kanji number letter, you should use two KANJI letters [ten] and [one], because you could describe eleven saying ten plus one.

In the "KANJI Lesson" section, the first thing to be seen when you tap [KANJI Lesson] button is a List page where you can choose "KANJI Number letter". Each cell of this list page is composed of three sections, such as “Image of KANJI Number letter", "How to pronounce in Japanese" and "A meaning of the KANJI Number letter in English”. The second thing to be seen when you tap one of these "KANJI Number letter" is a practice page of "KANJI Number letter" you just pick up, where is composed of "How to pronounce in Japanese", "A drawing KANJI letter area", "A number of its KANJI stroke", [Retry] button and [Test My Japanese!] button. The stroke number is counted down to zero each time you draw lines following a red guidance line of KANJI letter shown on the drawing KANJI letter area.

In the “Play Game” section, All of the cards, on which numbers are written in Kanji letters, are laid face down. You choose two cards and turn them face up by tapping each card image. If both of them have same number, then you will win the cards, in other words you will get 2 points. And then, you can choose two cards again until two cards you pick up don’t have same number. If two cards you choose don’t have same number, these cards are turned face down and your opponent will start to turn cards face up. In general, the game ends when the last 2 cards are picked up. And the winner is the one who has the most cards, in other words the higher points.
