The most important section, the listing by reading, is a powerful dictionary of kanji, including all readings of kanji, JLPT level, meaning in English, Korean and Chinese, and several examples of the use of the kanji that you are likely to see on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test.

| Thanks to personal computers and phones that can send e-mail, many Japanese no longer write as much kanji as they used to, and it's easy even for them to forget. Here's a useful Nintendo DS learning program to help!

Start the game, enter your name and birth date, and you're ready to test yourself against 2100+ everyday kanji. The game is smart, too: if you get a kanji wrong it will make you write it ten times to remember it. If you get stuck with a kanji, the answer button is always right there to help you. About this software product: This is a standard Nintendo DS software cartridge made for the Japanese market. It is compatible with DS hardware (the original DS, DS Lite and the new DSi) from around the world. Note that the software itself and game manual are in Japanese. We recommend that you use this program with other study tools to learn the correct pronunciations for Japanese. Recommended for students with one year of previous study at least. |

All entries include the meanings, stroke-orders, common compounds, and derivations of the kanji.
