- Lesson Reviews11 May 2012
- Today's update introduces a new, simple review mode that lets you review as much as you like. This has been often requested, and I hope it will make the website easier to use for people who are new to the whole Spaced Repetition System thing-a-magic (aka "SRS").
For the time being the new "free" review mode is available through the Progress page. You will find a Review link for each lesson. These links will take you to the flashcard review page, with all the kanji for that lesson shuffled together.

Continued... - Flashcard Tree14 March 2012
- Today we have a new sponsor, which I think you'll find interesting:
Flashcard Tree is an online flashcard SRS designed for students of Japanese. Improve your skills fast by converting any Japanese text into a flashcard deck with full word glossaries, Furigana, translation, and audio. Other features include an integrated Japanese-English dictionary for fast word card creation, an RSS reader for Japanese language websites, and support for mobile devices.
I see they also have a Japanese version if you can't stand english ;) - Kanji mosaics6 March 2012
- Howdy fellow kanjiteers!
Yes, I am still alive. I am sorry for the lack of updates. I'm on a long hiatus and may or may not continue to develop the website actively. I just don't know. What I do know is I have enough time to take care of any issues related to hosting, forum moderation, and backups and so on.
This site due to its very specific nature doesn't have a huge following, but it has a very dedicated following and so it's not going anywhere. Donations and sponsors more than cover up the costs for domain names renewals and hosting fees.
I know the new edition is going to be a problem on this site due to the reordering of the characters. One solution so far is the 6th Edition Frame Number Converter tool that has been kindly shared by gomtuu on the forum. Essentially, this creates a "custom" list that you can add through the Manage pages. A bit cumbersome but that should work for the majority of characters that are common from 5th to 6th edition.
In other news user Tom C has shared a very creative and inspirational video on vimeo, called 100,000 Kanji. I think everyone here will love it!
I have a little bit of work to add RTH 2 material to the Chinese site. Unfortunately adding 6th edition support to this site requires a lot more sweeping changes. Incidentally these changes are also required for Simplified Chinese Support on the RTH site.
Last but not least, I would like to thank everyone who has donated in the past year and early 2012. Some have even donated more than once, you know who you are. Thank you :) - iTroubles and The Koohii Blog5 May 2011
- First of all, thank you all again for the generous donations last Christmas! I ordered an iPad2 late March and received it Friday April 15th. From there on I have to admit my productivity has taken a serious blow :) I absolutely LOVE THIS THING!
The iPad is very interesting to me because it's very good in ways that I didn't expect. I have been surprised in particular, by the amount of "aggregation" apps such as Flipboard, Zite, Qwiki, SkyGrid, Hitpad, Taptu, etc. These apps made me realize how important RSS feeds, blogs and Twitter have become.
I'm currently working on setting up a WordPress blog, which will be much easier to update and much better for social integration. Although I don't have an official company (yet), it will act as a company blog, overseeing both the kanji and hanzi website. The blog will naturally find its place on the parent koohii.com domain. - Spring Sale at JapanesePod101!14 April 2011
