iPhone – Your Kanji doctor!!

I am sure you guys must be already exploring various iphone applications. There are large numbers of Iphone applications available offering various unique features. So much so that one has to struggle to find out for selecting appropriate application which suits the purpose.

As I have started writing about iPhone applications, here is one interesting story of my friend Rahul for you. Rahul is good at studies, very sincere and extremely serious with academics. He is planning to take JLPT N5 exam in December 2010. He is basically doing his 2nd year engineering from a reputed college. As engineering is a rigorous full time course, it keeps him busy for the whole day, hardly giving any way to other activities.
Due to the hectic schedule, he cannot create time for attending JLPT preparation classes.

It is always difficult to balance between two things at the same time in life. And when it comes to balancing between academics and co-curricular activities, it is all the more confusing. Rahul was facing the same dilemma.

I suppose, everybody of us at least once confronts with such a situation in life.
Since Rahul lost touch with Japanese, recognizing even the simplest of kanji became a daunting job for him. Still, he was not ready to give up his JLPT N5 dream. He came to me, and I introduced him to N5 kanji application. He promptly started using it. It was 1st week of May then.

As expected, he is doing well since then in JLPT preparation. As we know iPhones are portable, these applications are literally at one’s “fingertips”.
Recently, Rahul showed the application to his sensei (teacher). Sensei was so much amazed by its utility that he started recommending it to other students too.

Rahul, wish you all the best for your Kanji learning!

What exactly is this i phone application?

As I have mentioned earlier, Today I am going to share few images of JLPT kanji learning i phone application.
I will take you through the basic utilities.

This is the main screen of kanji learning. Divided into 5 levels (highest level to lowest level).    

For example let’s go to kanji N4.

 

This screen contains all the kanji’s expected in N4 JLPT exam.

Here I will go for last kanji [mono (者)].         

 

The next screen comes up with kunyomi and onyomi readings and its probable meaning. At the bottom line you could find list of Jukugos.

This application makes your I-phone as a handy dictionary. One can carry it anywhere and can study Japanese without any difficulties. It has simple search option which contains 4 different methods.

        1)      Kunyomi Reading

        2)      Onyomi Reading

        3)      Number of Strokes

        4)      Radical                           

So this was all about learning Japanese kanji’s. Unique feature of this I-phone application is that, you can test kanji knowledge by taking up number of tests. And one can get instant results. This test contains 15 questions with 30 seconds per question. 

You can also review your test performance with expected answers. Again these tests are divided by proficiency levels.

Isn’t it interesting?? 

Following are the images of kanji test menu and score card.

Please check last option “Start Combine Test”. That is very great feature of this application.
