About Yes, you KANJI!
Yes, you KANJI! is a learning platform designed to help Japanese learners master kanji,
vocabulary, and radicals in an efficient, structured way. Whether you're just starting
out or working toward passing the JLPT, our tools are here to guide your progress.
Smarter Studying with Spaced Repetition
We use the SuperMemo SM-2 algorithm to schedule reviews at just the right time, so you
don't have to worry about when to review. Just study, and when it's time to review
something, it'll show up automatically.
Tailored Learning Paths
By default, radicals appear before the kanji that use them, and vocabulary is selected
based on kanji you've already studied. That means you won't run into words you can't
read. You can also tweak your study settings, control how many items you study,
include or skip radicals, or unlock all vocabulary regardless of known kanji.
Rich Content for Deep Learning
Kanji come with animated stroke order diagrams, stroke counts, and color-coded visual guides.
Vocabulary includes text-to-speech audio and, in many cases, example sentences.
Names & Special Words: Study jouyou, jinmeiyou, and kanken kanji, as well as yojijukugo, ateji, given and family names.
JLPT Mode
Our JLPT course is structured by level (N5–N1) and features unique vocabulary,
grammar notes with examples, and clever redaction: if you don't know a kanji yet,
it's shown in hiragana. Once you've studied the kanji, the word will appear in full
again, so nothing ever feels out of reach.
Beginner-Friendly Extras
Kana Course: Learn hiragana and katakana with audio, visual charts, and quizzes.
Prefecture Quiz: Study the names, shapes, and locations of all 47 Japanese prefectures and test your knowledge.
