What Ringotan does

Ringotan teaches you to write Japanese by hand: you draw each character and the app checks your input, then quizzes you with spaced repetition on the ones you need.

It covers hiragana, katakana and 3500 kanji, including all Jouyou and Jinmeiyou kanji, and teaches each character from the start without assuming prior knowledge.

You decide when to study, and lessons follow many popular textbooks.

Who Ringotan suits

  • Japanese learners who can read kanji but want to write them
  • Learners who follow a textbook and want writing practice in the same order

One limit. The App Store version runs on iPhone and iPad, not on Mac.

What Ringotan costs

Ringotan is free; the maker's site says it will become a paid app later and that people who download it now keep the full version for free.
