Learn Japanese the way students in Japan do: by writing it, stroke by stroke.
Doriru is named after ドリル, the drill workbooks Japanese students practice kanji in. Tell it where you are and it lays out a path of small, clear steps, from your first hiragana to N1 kanji. Ten minutes a day is enough to start.
