How we compare
Most tools are great at helping you recognize Japanese. Zenshin is for when you already know some basics and want to produce it: write, recall, conjugate, without building your own system from scratch.
| Tool | Zenshin | Typical focus |
|---|---|---|
| Anki | Curated JLPT content + daily goals, no deck building | Bring-your-own decks; powerful but setup-heavy |
| Bunpro | Open-ended sentence writing with AI grammar feedback | Fill-in-the-blank grammar SRS |
| WaniKani | Kanji learned through vocab & production, not radicals | Radical → kanji mnemonic curriculum |
| Duolingo-style apps | Output-first: write, recall, conjugate, not swipe recognition | Passive recognition and gamified drills |
Not quite ready? You need hiragana, katakana, and basic sentence structure. Is Zenshin for you?
