Method
The science under the surface.
KanjiKanji Modern is built on three methods: spaced repetition, radical decomposition, and motor-encoded handwriting practice. Each has decades of cognitive-psychology research behind it. Each is implemented here with kanji-specific tuning.
What is spaced repetition?
The forgetting curve, the SM-2 algorithm, and why naïve SRS isn't enough for kanji. The single most-validated learning technique in cognitive psychology.

Decomposition, keywords, mnemonics. What Remembering the Kanji gets right (radicals as the durable model), what it skips (readings), and what we borrow.

Motor encoding, retrieval cue diversity, and why writing each kanji three to five times once produces durable recall — even if you only plan to read.
