About KanjiBox
KanjiBox is an iPhone/iPod application to help you study Japanese. It provides a set of simple, yet powerful, drill exercises to help you evaluate and improve your skills in specific aspects of Japanese studies: kanji, vocabulary, reading, kana etc.
KanjiBox is particularly well suited for standardised test preparation (JLPT, Kanji Kentei, Ninja academy...) but works perfectly well as a standalone self-study tool.
This iPhone version is a port of the popular and free KanjiBox for Facebook application, although not all features of the original have been implemented yet.
What Makes KanjiBox Unique?
Like most great teachers:
- KanjiBox is Smart: it records all your answers (good and bad) and uses a special adaptative algorithm to decide which questions to ask you next, in such a way as to optimize your learning curve.
- KanjiBox is Mean: choices are automatically selected to make guessing difficult. For example, kanji always come in pairs of closely (and often confusingly) similar characters.
- KanjiBox is Engaging: live bar charts showing your skills in each area provide you with an incentive to keep studying until you get the coveted "all green" bar for a given level. Timed quiz mode and highscores let you compete against yourself or your friends.
