Kanjideck is a no-shortcuts deck for learning Japanese Kanji with the super-power of spaced repetition, a proven method famously used by polyglots and medical students alike to study smarter, not harder.

The most challenging part of Japanese is learning the 2136 Kanji characters one needs to be fluent. While it sounds like way too many characters, using active recall and spaced repetition makes it possible to learn them efficiently, in a reasonable amount of time.

However, spaced repetition for learning Japanese is typically synonymous with brute-forcing all characters into your brain via the use of silly mnemonics. Most resources use them extensively and ignore the readings meanings, examples, components, or etymology. And we've found that's not a very good way to learn.
