Too bad it doesn't add the English meaning for words. But that may be a good one for beginners. Nice. Too bad it doesn’t add the English meaning for words. But that may be a good one for beginners.

It is for elementary school kids and teaches how to correctly write all kana and kanji to 6th grade level, more than enough for a year of serious practice! Its pretty basic, there's not much in the way of a dictionary or pronunciation function but it's fun and actually pretty addictive. Hope that helps. Rob Try 正しい漢字かきとりくん (Tadashikanjikakitorikun).

All of the kanji/language training software is made specifically for native Japanese speakers. That is why they usually aren't great for beginners. It is possible some software designed for Japanese preschoolers may be appropriate, but I don't know. Hi Janus,
