Welcome to Your Learning Dashboard

The dashboard has a lot of information that you can use to optimize your use of Kanjiverse. In the future, we will add more customization to it.

The first time you open the app, a Welcome card invites you to select your Japanese level. This customizes the interface and the content (random words and sentences, sentence difficulty, etc.) to your needs. You can change it at any time from the Account tab.

Notification cards may also appear at the top of the dashboard: release announcements, a request to rate the app, a reminder to download the dictionaries for offline use, or a notification when a new version is available. They can be dismissed by sliding them away (except mandatory update notices).

Random Word​

  • Purpose: Introduces new vocabulary in a randomized manner to help expand your lexicon in surprising and engaging ways.
  • How it works: You'll find a new word displayed on your dashboard under "Random Word", tailored to your user level. This section includes the word's pronunciation, its meaning, and the kanji it is composed of. Tap the card to open the word's page, or tap a kanji to open its page. Pull to refresh to roll a new word.

Random Sentence​

  • Purpose: Offers a randomly selected sentence to demonstrate the practical use of Japanese in real-life contexts.
  • How it works: Beneath the Random Word section, the "Random Sentence" provides an example sentence showcasing how various elements of Japanese grammar and vocabulary come together, with its difficulty rating.

Explore Lists​

A selection of public vocabulary lists curated by Kanjiverse ("By Kanjiverse") as well as all the public lists shared by the community ("All Lists").

The dashboard features a selection of AI-generated and community sentences organized by media category: Books, Manga, News, Dramas, Movies, and Games. Tap a category to browse sentences inspired by that universe.
