With the emergence of the Globalization Era, foreign languages studies have become increasingly popular among the people. However, there's a huge barrier in learning Japanese due to the language being both unique and alien to outsiders especially the Kanji script. The Kanji characters consists of over 2000++ characters which in turn might scare them and possibly break their motivation to continue learning. Not to mention the hardship that students have to endure by learning the characters the traditional way. With the 'Kanji Learning Courseware' which uses the Leitner flashcard system and Reisig's "Remembering the Kanji" techniques (to name a few), it may help people particularly students in their Kanji characters' learning. Currently available courseware will be analyzed to gather vital information about the current available features. New features which didn't exist in the current software such as animations to help in writing the characters, pronunciation guide with sound, and many more will be incorporated. It is hoped that the courseware will meet its objectives and probably serve as a catalyst into something even bigger and better in the future.
