East Asian Journal / Jōyō kanji
Grade 1 Kanji
Learn meanings and readings in context. Practise recognition, then follow each stroke.
Tap a card to reveal its reading and meaning, then open Stroke order to watch or trace it.
How practice and scores work
Browse freely without scoring, or match one answer from six choices. Twelve correct answers in a row master a card in this session; a miss resets that card’s streak. Each direction has its own score. Resetting or refreshing clears progress. Stroke tracing is unscored.
