About
Hi, I'm Oliver, I designed these games to make studying Japanese easier and more fun. I've lived and worked around Japan for over 20 years, now teaching ESL at a university in Kansai. I am still trying to improve my own Japanese - kanji sure takes a lot of time and dedication, but now I have kids learning kanji so I also have to try and keep up with them! The https://kanjilab.co site is coded by Paul Raine (https://paulsensei.com/) If you're finding the games useful, spread the word! The more users there are, the keener I'll be to add further functionality & activities. |
