Description

Studying Japanese Kanji or Chinese Hanzi characters?

Scribe Origins is designed to help students rapidly learn the thousands of kanji/hanzi characters required for reading & writing Asian languages. To make learning as fast as possible, we've developed several games to help practice the characters you are currently learning. Using a unified, inbuilt spaced-repetition system, whichever game you are playing will use the same characters you are currently studying, & remember your progress in them as a single study deck.

Writing always comes FIRST in learning a language, as it allows your brain to specifically link word sounds, word meanings, & their written form together. Whereas learning to speak Japanese or speak Chinese before learning writing means your brain will learn one set of links, then needs to unlearn them & re-learn them, which is why most language students take 3 years to learn a language. To study Japanese & study Chinese efficiently & effectively, the character writing system is foundational.

- Primitive radicals for 4,800 kanji + hanzi characters (e.g. 親 (parent) is made of 見, 立, 木).
- 6 kanji + hanzi language sets: JLPT, JOYO, HSK, TOCFL, Taiwan School System, Hong Kong School System character sets. Covering all major Japanese writing & Chinese writing systems.
- 7 kanji games: Kanji Flashcards, Kanji Multiple Choice, Kanji Scrabble, Kanji Tiles, Kanji Matchup, Kanji Blockfall Keywords, Kanji Blockfall Primitives.
- Unified keywords across all kanji + hanzi character sets, based as closely to the original meaning as possible (and you can download customised lists too!)
- Spaced-Repetition System that.. is simply incredible. When you get down into the deeper levels with thous&s of characters to remember, you'll be amazed at how accurately the right character comes along.
- Similar character, character usage, Japanese dictionary + Chinese dictionary of common words all included per card.

Even if you don't think you'll learn writing, being able to read is an IMPERATIVE SKILL to easily understand the language.

The first level of all languages is free. Further levels can either be purchased once-off or subscribed to.

Incredible!

This app is amazing! I have used it and it’s counter parts to teach myself Japanese. If I was consistent in my learning I would know so much. But this app gives so much for the price and even just the free part of the app can get you a really good understanding of Kanji. It points you in the direction of what to learn and can solidify the basics before moving on. Plus there is a cute anime girl with a different outfit everyday to help the learning process feel less lonely. There was a time when the app had some maintenance issues and I emailed the customer support and within the next day had a response and the issue resolved. Truly recommended this app and have to multiple of my friends who wanted a good way to start learning. This app is great from Kanji and the developer has another app just as good for vocab! It’s incredible!

Great app! Wish for one feature

This is a fantastic app overall. Currently I have it set up to not add any automatically and search for and add them manually as I learn them in remembering the kanji book. The feature request would be an all kanji list you can track progress on or a list that follows the RTK order.

Good, if a bit odd

Really shows how the characters are built with animations. Makes it much easier to remember them.
I could do without the cartoon girl with cat ears, but there you go.
