Example of an exercise:

話す: (You need to choose the correct reading)

【かえす】 【はなす】 【さがす】 【だす】

If you choose the correct answer, the translations appear:

【To speak】 【To walk】 【To throw】 【To enter】

If you choose the right answer again, it counts as one correct answer, and the next word appears.

These exercises can be alongside reading and writing categories.

I've been thinking about something like this, but I don't like quizzes specifically for remembering words, I think anki is doing a better job regarding this and I don't want to compete with anki here since it's far more flexible. Also I feel like this type of tasks should be hand-made to add more challenge since you can easily eliminate weird kanji you never saw or unrelated familiar kanji and basically can solve it with logic instead of trying to recall particular thing

Recently I've been using Duolingo and they have this mode where you build sentence in right order, I think it's cool and similar to what people have in JLPT. Maybe it would be better to have a mode where there is a gap in a sentence and you try to pick suitable word with kanji based on context with more focus on immersion rather than a word itself

Nevertheless, I kinda want to have something more than kanji in the app. Maybe a grammar quiz with correct particle or counter suffixes, sentences from tatoeba project can be used for this as an examples. Maybe these challenges of various types can be added to a different tab with filters, like grammar quizzes, word quizzes, sentence building, word writing challenges

It's quite ambitious task since I work on this alone, for free, and I'm neither native in Japanese nor English :sweat_smile: so idk if I'll start working on this, there will be a need to plan a lot of things ahead

I might be mistaken, but I think they use something similar for testing students on kanji in Japan.

Well, in our classes we do something like that, for example:

日本に__きます。 And a small い under the line. You have to write the right kanji (in this case: 行) based on the context.
