Notes and hands-on tools for making sense of Japanese, from how the scripts fit together to the words and particles you use every day.
Where to start:
- New to the writing system? Read Kanji: a guide to Japanese characters for how kanji, hiragana and katakana share the page.
- Explore the map of kanji: look inside any of 6,430 characters to see its components, then follow those building blocks into related kanji.
- Wondering how thousands of kanji fit on a keyboard? Try typing in Japanese with our interactive romaji-to-kanji guide, then practise in Typper or print worksheets on Drills.
