Kanji Draw is the most complete and fun tool to learn and practice kanji!
The 3 ways to remember a kanji are:
• Associate it with a story or image.
• Associate it with a sound.
• Write the kanji over and over again.
Well, you can do all this with Kanji Draw.

HOW TO USE KANJI DRAW
There are 3 modes: STUDY KANJI, KANJI QUIZ and MEANING QUIZ.

• STUDY KANJI
You typically start with the STUDY MODE. Here you can focus on each kanji.
Write something about it that will help you remember it later, or make a drawing about it.
If you are out of ideas try importing someone else's text or drawing.
You can also take a picture or import an image from your photo gallery, maybe a fun image that you found on the web...
Don't forget to share your text or image with the community!

You have full control of how much help you want during the quiz.

• KANJI QUIZ
Look at the reading and meanings on the details card and try to guess the correct kanji.
On the right, you can choose to show your text or drawing, or simply swipe sideways to hide this card.
The left card is where you answer. Find the correct kanji and tap it.
Or even better, switch to draw mode and use your finger to write the kanji.
You can start by writing on top of a guide showing the stroke order and direction, and when you're ready, hide this hint and you're on your own.

• MEANING QUIZ
The MEANING QUIZ is similar but you are shown the kanji and must choose the correct meaning.
