Write Japanese

Can you write Japanese characters with confidence—or does every stroke feel like a guessing game?

Write Japanese by Jernung turns the challenge of learning hiragana, katakana, and basic kanji into a precise, stroke-by-stroke practice tool. Designed specifically for young learners and beginners, this app focuses on the physical act of writing—not just recognition. You trace, tap, and repeat until muscle memory takes over, all within a clean, distraction-free interface that works on Android 6.0 and above.

Core Writing Tools & Practice Modes

• Stroke-order tutor – Every character animates its correct stroke sequence. Tap to pause, rewind, or step forward. Watch the direction and pressure points highlighted in real time.
• Trace-and-draw canvas – A dedicated drawing area with adjustable grid lines. Use your finger or a stylus. The app checks your stroke direction and order, not just the final shape. Red lines appear when you deviate from the correct path.
• Flashcard + writing combo – Each card shows the character, its romanized reading, and a sample word. Flip the card to reveal a blank canvas where you must reproduce the character from memory. The app grades your attempt on accuracy and fluidity.
• Speed challenge mode – A timed test where characters appear one by one. You have 10 seconds to write each one correctly. Miss three in a row and the session ends. Your score tracks accuracy percentage and average completion time.
• Progress dashboard – See exactly which characters you’ve mastered (green), which need review (yellow), and which are new (gray). The dashboard breaks down your performance by stroke count and character family.

Key Advantages for Fast Learning

• No ads, no pop-ups – The entire screen stays dedicated to your writing practice. No interruptions during trace sessions or challenges.
• Offline-first design – Once downloaded, all character sets and lessons work without an internet connection. Practice anywhere—on the bus, in a park, or during a power outage.
• Custom stroke sensitivity – Adjust how tightly the app judges your strokes. Beginner mode allows slight deviations. Expert mode requires near-perfect alignment with the standard calligraphy model.
• Character library with 2,136 kanji – Includes all Jōyō kanji plus full hiragana and katakana sets. Each entry includes on’yomi and kun’yomi readings, stroke count, and common compound words.
• Visual progress heatmap – A grid view of all characters color-coded by your last practice date and accuracy. Instantly spot which characters you’ve neglected for more than a week.
