Welcome to D4E (Drill for Every Day).

This project module (BKY: Basic Kanji Yomi) is for beginning Japanese learners to practice Basic kanji yomi/readings.
You will practice 10 sentences in an episode.
It's a very simple exercise. You just type kanji readings in roman letters.
The first objective is to familiarize yourself with the basic kanji readings.
You can practice as many times as possible. The more you practice, the better you will get.
Please regularly contribute your time to this practice.
It is important to practice every day rather than to practice a lot at once. More steady practice is more effective than a lot of practice at once.
The following is the psychological evidence of the importance of regular practice:
Hermann Ebbinghaus (ca. 1885): forgetting curve $b = \frac{100 k}{(\log (t))^{c} + k}$

Figure 1: The forgetting curve described by Hermann Ebbinghaus.
Here, b represents 'Savings' expressed as a percentage, and t represents time in minutes, counting from one minute before end of learning. The constants c and k are 1.25 and 1.84 respectively. Savings is defined as the relative amount of time saved on the second learning trial as a result of having had the first. A savings of 100% would indicate that all items were still known from the first trial. A 75% savings would mean that relearning missed items required 25% as long as the original learning session (to learn all items). 'Savings' is thus, analogous to retention rate.

This site is developed from the scratch, and operated by the Japanese Language and Culture Section, Tokyo Institute of Technology: programmed by Professor Hilofumi Yamamoto; practice sentences written and data checked by Professor Fumie Wakamatsu and Professor Hilofumi Yamamoto; and material designed by Professor Mika Ebara and Professor Fumie Wakamatsu.
