Aozumi Makes Kanji Less Opaque
A bilingual kanji-learning app explains how characters are built, written, read in real words, and encountered in short Japanese readings.
Field notes
Each lesson follows a fixed five-question sequence covering meaning, construction, writing, readings in real words, and sentence-level appearances. The example character 明 is assembled through the mnemonic “sun, then moon,” with 日 and 月 treated as recurring parts rather than isolated flashcard facts. The page also describes stroke replay, optional tracing, audio readings, look-alike warnings, and five-to-ten-minute lessons, while positioning the curriculum around the Japanese elementary-school sequence.
