Use the Kanji Drill to practice and learn kanji. Your answers are separated into the kunyomi and onyomi readings, since these help you to know which pronunciation to use when reading the kanji in a sentence.

Settings

The “Settings” link is at the top of the Kanji Drill. It is also on the My Lessons page and the Lesson page.

Default: Off
Takes effect immediately: No, you must restart the drill.

For example, if the drill has 50 kanji, you could set “Maximum” to ‘10’ to practice only the first 10 kanji.

Note that when this setting is used, the maximum score possible for the drill will be less than 100%.
