On the first miss, your mnemonic appears before the answer.

Your mnemonic

Picture a mountain with fire bursting out of it. Fire plus mountain makes volcano.

A faithful preview using the same prompt card as the review screen.

Built for Japanese learners who already know kana

Your mnemonics stay private

The useful bit is the part you write

A memory hook works better when it sounds like you.

A ready-made story can be clever and still slide straight past your brain. Writing your own makes you notice the word, connect it to something familiar, and leave a trail you can follow later.

Someone else’s mnemonic

Easy to read. Easy to forget.

The association may be memorable to its author, but it does not necessarily connect to anything in your life.

Your mnemonic

A little effort, then a stronger hook.

Your odd references, people, places, and jokes give the item somewhere personal to land.

A small, focused loop

Learn it. Make it yours. Meet it again.

Kanjimonics keeps the routine deliberately narrow, so the work goes into recall instead of navigating a crowded study system.

01 · Learn

See the whole item

Start with the kanji or word, its meaning, reading, components, and a practical example where relevant.
02 · Create

Write one combined mnemonic

You cannot skip the memory hook. After writing it, an eight-second focus screen gives it a quiet moment to settle.
03 · Review

Practice at the right time

Meaning, reading, and production cards follow their own schedules so you practice the part that actually needs work.

When recall goes wrong

Your mnemonic gets the first chance to help.

On the first miss, Kanjimonics shows your mnemonic without giving away the answer. It is a nudge back toward your own thought, not an instant reveal.

First miss

See your memory hook

Try again with the personal clue you wrote during the lesson.

Second miss

Reveal, correct, continue

The answer appears, the card steps back one level, and you type the right answer before moving on.

Two courses. That’s enough for MVP.

Start practical. Go deeper when the method clicks.

The launch catalog is intentionally small: one honest free experience and one focused paid progression.
