Learn why characters look the way they do, and stop forgetting them

Every kanji you already know becomes easier to keep the moment you can see the picture it came from and the parts it was built out of.

By the end

You will be able to look at an unfamiliar kanji, spot its parts, guess what it once pictured, and hold the meaning in memory through the story rather than the drill.

Who this is for

JLPT N4 learners who can read a few hundred characters but keep losing them the week after they learn them.
