Learn kanji while enjoying yourself on playkanji.com!
PlayKanji is the first web interactive way to learn kanji! You can signup for free and immediately begin to play!
Your progress will be tracked by a ton of statistics, follow other players progress and try to reach the top of each rank!
Easy to use, it does follow your skill improvements
To start you just need to click signup, provide username, password and email and click the button. You're in!
Now click play on the main menu: some options will appear. You can begin with an easy approach: hiragana or go straight for gold: kanji!
When you signup your level is set to 1 and you got 0 EXP points. Each character you recognize correctly will be worth you some experience points. Those EXP points increase your position in the overall ranking, eventually they allow you to level-up and also feed the dynamic-kanji-engine that shows you different kanjis to recognize depending upon your skill.
