Radical is a English-Japanese dictionary designed to help learners boost their kanji and vocabulary acquisition by identifying meaning and phonetic radicals. It is made by a Japanese teacher and professor who thought current apps were not really helpful for actual learners of Japanese.
More effective kanji acquisition:
-Radical does not make up a story for you to understand a kanji. Instead, it analyzes it for you in the actual radicals (or parts of kanji) that is made of. The meaning radical will give you the meaning of the kanji; the phonetic radical will give you the on'yomi reading (the reading when the kanji is next to another kanji). The kanji you need to learn for a specific JLPT level is also coded.
More effective vocabulary acquisition:
-Radical allows you to boost vocabulary acquisition by giving you the meaning of the kanji involved, samples sentences to see the word in context, and a JLPT level tag so you know if you need to memorize the word. The search function is available in both English and Japanese.
Radical v.7.0 contains 6,368 kanji, 148,352 words, 584 phonetic radicals, 279 meaning radicals, and 246,737 sample sentences, including JLPT tags for vocabulary and kanji.
