Kanji Learning Today — Online

Each page is interactive — tap to study.
Kanji Learning Today is a system that helps a learner remember many kanji within a relatively short period of time.
The system includes 3 Online volumes and 3 corresponding Workbooks.

See Kanji Learning Today for more information.
Kanji Learning Today — Workbook
Writing the kanji boosts recognition.
There are three workbooks, and each Workbook presents the kanji with the same sequence as the corresponding Online volume. The reinforcing effect helps the user learn faster.
One helpful feature of the workbooks is the appearance of βkanji-in-kanjiβ entries for many kanji. When the kanji being studied includes another kanji within its structure, the entry shows the other kanji and gives its location within the Kanji Learning Today system. This helps alleviate the βWhere did I see that before?β feeling.
See Kanji Learning Today for more information.

Color Codec
Color Codec is a simple encoding method created by Todd Adkisson. It uses common emoji characters, with each character having an easily recognizable shape and a color.
Example:
πππ·πΆγπ΄πγππ¦π§‘πΆγβͺοΈπ§‘π¦πππΆγπ₯π£π©γπ΄γπ€π΄π’π’γπ₯ππ‘γβ¬π¦π§‘γππ€γπ«π€γππ€γπβ¬π¦γπ©π₯π£π¨π¦
The above is the encoded content of an English sentence. A person familiar with the encoding method would be able to read it.
The Color Codec app is a database file. The user must download the free FileMaker Go app to be able to run this file.
The database can convert from ASCII (English) to color emoji and vice versa. It also has a Practice window and a Test window so the user can learn to read the code without converting it.
See Color Codec for more information.
(Do not look at the page listed above if you want to decipher the code without assistance.)
