KanjiMemory

KanjiMemory (漢字Memory) is a game of Memory that lets you play rounds of Memory games with Japanese kanji characters and their associated readings. It is designed to be an entertaining way for students of the Japanese language to deepen their grasp of kanji while also training their short term memory.

 

KanjiMemory offers the following:

 

  • Full set of the current 2136 jouyou kanji issued in 2010 by the Japanese Ministry of Education as potential memory card pairs

  • Adjustable play deck size to tailor your own difficulty

  • Adjustable display speed for memory cards to accomodate both speedy and slow play

 

Each round will set up a fresh play deck by choosing randomly selected kanji out of all available jouyou kanji.

 

General flow:

 

First, choose a play deck size.

Your deck will be prepared and you're ready to play the round.

Start flipping cards. Match the kanji with their readings. Correctly matching cards will add to your score.

Missing a match will deduct from your score instead.

Keep playing until all cards are matched. Try beating your personal best in the next round!

 
The difficulty setting comes from the chosen deck size.

Try adding more cards to your deck once you're comfortable with the default deck size...

...or go all the way up to the deck size limit for a 鬼畜 experience!

It is a small, simple game that we hope will give you a fun way of improving your grasp of kanji. We wish you all the best in your Japanese language studies!
