Kanji Safari

Welcome to Kanji Safari, the great Kana and Kanji learning game for up to four players!

Kanji Safari can be used by students just starting Japanese who need to learn Hiragana and Katakana (the Japanese phonetic alphabets), up to more advanced students who already know a range of Kanji characters (the more complex characters derived from Chinese).

Each character in the Hiragana and Katakana tilesets comes with native Japanese pronunciation, so you can learn the sounds of the Kana as you learn to recognise how they are written. Each Kanji in the Kanji tilesets include the Kanji character itself (drawn in a beautiful calligraphic style), it's English meaning and it's primary Kana readings. Kanji Safari thus includes all the key information you need to learn Japanese characters effectively.

Kanji Safari is very easy to set up and play. You can use it as a simple matching game to reinforce your Japanese Kana and Kanji skills by leaving the play area uncovered, or play challenging multiplayer games with your friends which will test your memory to the limit! This makes Kanji Safari a superb learning tool for students and schools, since you can use it for self-study on your laptop or home computer, or up to four students can use the same computer to play in the school language lab.

There are versions of Kanji Safari for MacOS, Windows 95/98/NT/2000 and Linux, and license packs of any size can be ordered to accomodate your needs. Schools can thus run this software on most types of computers in their school language labs.
