📖 Study Guide & Stroke Order Rules

JLPT N1 encompasses the entire Japanese Jōyō Kanji standard plus key literary and legal characters. Breaking complex 20-stroke Kanji into familiar radicals makes memorizing and writing them effortless.

  • Write from top to bottom (上から下へ) and left to right (左から右へ).
  • Horizontal strokes precede vertical strokes when crossing (横が先、縦が後).
  • Draw the outer enclosure before filling the inside, then close the bottom frame last.

✍️ Interactive Handwriting & Genkō Yōshi PDF Tips

Combine digital stroke-order validation with physical handwriting on squared Japanese Genkō Yōshi (原稿用紙) paper to lock in long-term orthographic recall.

  • Practice 10–15 characters daily in Quiz Mode, then switch to Recall Mode to write from memory.
  • Use the Radical Explorer and AI Kanji Sensei to break complex characters into familiar components.
  • Print A4 Genkō Yōshi PDF worksheets for offline pencil or Apple Pencil / stylus practice.
