As a long time Japanese learner, I always wanted there to be a simple online trainer for learning kana, Kanji and vocabulary - like Anki, but for the web. Originally, I created the website for personal use simply as a better alternative to kana pro and realkana (both of which I used extensively for brushing up on my kana), adding a bunch of aesthetic themes and fonts just for the fun factor. But, after a couple of my friends liked it, I decided to bring it online and see if it's of any use to the larger language learning community.

Overview No ads, no subscriptions, no account sign-ups - you can jump straight into action and start learning without wasting time on making an account!

Hyper customizable, with more than a dozen different themes, text fonts and color palettes - that way, you can customize KanaDojo and train in your own, personal playground tailored specifically to your taste and needs

Kanji characters and vocabulary words divided into small, pre-made sets - so that learning is easy, fun, linear and intuitive

Built-in Kanji and Vocabulary mini-dictionaries - so that you can look up readings and meanings right in the app without switching tabs

Mobile-friendly

Full keyboard-only navigation on desktop through the use of intuitive keyboard hotkeys

Live in-game stats and feedback

With a beautiful, minimalist design philosophy and a terrifying amount of different themes, fonts and other customizations, I seriously want to build THE most user-friendly, customizable, beautiful and fun platform for learning Japanese that there is, accessible to all and 100% free - with the community's help!

The platform is currently in its early alpha stages, and currently available at --> kanadojo.com.
