Dr. MokuKanji Flash Cards - Learn Japanese Kanji Characters with Mnemonic Memory Tricks - JLPT N5 & Joyo Grade 1 - Japanese for Beginners

Dr. Moku's Kanji Flash Cards are an excellent, fun way to get into learning kanji, especially if you're just starting out or looking for a more interactive method. The cards are visually appealing and make studying a more enjoyable experience, which is great for kids or anyone who prefers a less traditional approach to learning. However, they might be a bit tricky to incorporate into a more structured study routine, especially if you're following a specific method like RTK. Still, as a supplementary tool, they’re a great way to reinforce kanji recognition in a playful, low-pressure way.

While this may be good for some to learn, I found these to be a bit difficult. The pictures are a bit odd, and I was hoping for a better system of mnemonic ways to remember the kanji. Unfortunately, this wasn't it.The cards themselves are good however, good quality and the printing is easy to read. There are instructions in the box so you can understand how they try to explain it and the cards also offer a link to online support as well.Value vs quality is fair.

I've been studying Japanese for about two years. I started with kanji (via a web-based app) and then moved to weekly lessons with a teacher for over a year because I wanted to focus more on conversational Japanese. That is still going very well for me but I recently decided to take the JLPT N5 test this December 1 (when it's in Seattle), so I decided to return to working on kanji for it. Another benefit is cementing more vocabulary.I am totally impressed with the cards and with Dr. Moku in general. Very high quality card stock, nice graphics, and complete info on each kanji. They are going to be a joy to use.

I just started my Japanese learning and the examples are nice, the set is easy to carry on my bag and practice when I have some free time. I would say the material is a light duty lamination so some wrinkles can show, but still a good resource plus once you buy the card you will receive the app with the same content so that was a nice surprise for me.

I have used many books, and apps to learn Japanese. As a visual learner, this product is perfect! I wish the price was lower, but I later found out that you get the app content for free (I think it was like a $16 value for ALL the contents for Korean, Japanese, Arabic and Chinese) If you email them after buying a physical copy the will send you a voucher code to redeem it. To me, I feel like that offset the price. I also bought the hiragana and katakana. I'm very pleased. With both products and the app! I hope more Kanjis are coming.

These cards are really helpful and fun to use! There is so much useful detail and explanation packed into each card but done in a clean and visually concise format. Kanji is very challenging to learn and all the little explanation on the associations between different symbols helped make so much more sense than just memorizing the symbols on their own. Highly recommend!

A great number of the pictures meant to help you remember the kanji are so bizarre they're downright confusing/I have no clue what meaning they could possibly be trying to convey. Some of them even to the point of making me doubt my correct memorizations... However, there are a few for which the images they used were actually helpful instead and the cards are sturdy and arrived in a timely fashion. The card layout also included all the information for each kanji that I was looking for.

I love these cards - crafted playfully to make a challenging subject relevant. When raised within a culture, you have the benefit of cultivating an intuitive understanding of a concept, which is typically lost in translation with the 'basic' character cards.Dr. Moku has connected the dots - developing a set of cards with thoughtfully developed designs and memory aids which guide you to mastery.... neuroscience has found that 'silly' images actually stick in your memory better. On the back of each card, they provide the character line order, a range of character presentations, the translation, pronunciation, JLPT designation, and a mnemonic sentence to reinforce both context & pronunciation.If that's not all - with the purchase, the company gifts access to their App, where the flashcard characters can also be reviewed digitally, the characters are drawn, pronounced and summarized, quizzing you artfully until you have attained the mastery you desire.This level of commitment to mastery is rare, demonstrating a top notch organization invested in you succeeding. I feel blessed to have found this powerful aid, and inspired by their thoughtful design which engages both hemispheres of the brain while learning.
