Kanji Animated Stroke Order Quiz - 12-09-2010, 09:19 PM

I'm looking for a Kanji quiz that shows an animation of the Kanji being drawn and then asks the user to select the correct answer - something like Learn, practice and repeat japanese Kanji with KanjiRepeater except for that an animation showing the Kanji being drawn is shown instead of a still Kanji. I've looked through the resource threads here, but I haven't found anything like this so far.

Does anybody know of any software/a website that does this? Thanks

Do you mean a quiz where you get the same kanji written four different ways and pick the correct stroke order? I've never heard of something like that. It'd be sort of a bitch for whoever was writing 2000+ kanji four different ways to make the quiz.

Sorry for being unclear. I meant that one single animation of a Kanji being drawn with the correct stroke order is shown, and then one must guess the English definition of the Kanji (or something along those lines). The main purpose would be to learn the English definitions, but it would also help you learn the stroke order after seeing the Kanji being drawn many times.

I have some kanji and katakana cards from white rabbit press.

They give the Mnemonics which helps how to remember them

I also have books that teach the stroke order-- so you practice them.

not the same as on line I know-- but still useful.

If I may be blunt for a moment, there are only a handful of kanji that do not follow a very standard set of stroke order rules. Before you've learned a hundred kanji, you will likely have internalized these rules completely.

I honestly feel there's no need to have a quiz about stroke order as it practically goes to autopilot after a couple months.

This one won't give you quizes. It just shows you the correct stroke order, the readings and English definitions.

Seriously, do try to use pencil and paper if you want to learn kanji as fast as you can. That's what Japanese kids do. They rarely use a PC to learn kanji.

I can't run the program now to check it (I lost all due to a virus), but the one you might wanna look into is called "read write kanji.
Tests the stroke order, onyomi/kunyomi reading, meaning and what radical the kanji is.
