Frequently Asked Questions

KanjiStory is a complete kanji learning course that teaches you all 2,000+ essential kanji through memorable stories and mnemonics. Our AI-powered spaced repetition system ensures you remember what you learn — permanently.

Unlike generic flashcard apps, KanjiStory understands how kanji are built from components. It teaches radicals and primitives first, then combines them into compound kanji with stories. Our AI schedules reviews based on your personal forgetting curves — not fixed intervals — so you spend less time and retain more.

Not at all! KanjiStory is designed for complete beginners. We start from the most basic elements and build up systematically. If you already know some kanji, our placement system will adapt to your level.

Most learners complete the core 2,000 kanji in 3–6 months with 15–20 minutes of daily study. Our spaced repetition system is optimized so you can see meaningful results in as little as 10 minutes a day.

KanjiStory covers kanji from N5 all the way through N1. You can choose to follow a JLPT-aligned path or customize the learning order based on frequency, your interests, or a combination of both.

Yes! KanjiStory works across all your devices — phone, tablet, and desktop. Your progress syncs automatically so you can study anywhere. Offline mode is also available for learning on the go.

Our AI tracks how well you remember each kanji individually. When you're about to forget a kanji, it schedules a review at the optimal moment — right before it slips from memory. This means you review less, remember more, and waste zero time on kanji you already know.

KanjiStory includes stroke-order writing practice with real-time feedback. You draw each kanji on screen and our system checks your stroke order, direction, and proportions — helping you write kanji correctly from day one.

Absolutely. You can set your goal to any JLPT level and KanjiStory will prioritize the kanji you need for that level. You can also sort by word frequency or follow our recommended path that teaches building blocks first.
