Can You Learn A Language In One Year?
Join Jack on his mission to learn 2,136 jōyō kanji by the end of 2020.
What Are Jōyō Kanji?
Jōyō Kanji, or 常用漢字, are the 2,136 Chinese characters that the Japanese government has designated for “standard use” within Japan. All Japanese students are expected to know these symbols by the time they graduate secondary school.
