This program could be useful for practicing the Heisig kanji learning method--once the bug is fixed so that the software program will actually display the kanji characters. In Heisig's method, the student first learns to associate kanji character with meaning. The entire Heisig volume one is devoted to this. No Japanese pronunciations are taught until volume two. That is perhaps why the developer did not give any kana pronunciation information on the flash cards. A key component of Heisig's method, lacking from this software program, exploits the human ability to remember a story. Heisig explains that this part of our brain works much better than the part that memorizes visual information. Heisig thus conjures up short stories for each kanji character that are designed to help one remember how to draw the character. For example the kanji character for "risk" is a combination of "sun" above "eye." Heisig's story for this is in the form of a cautionary warning not to look directly into the sun, or you "risk" injuring your eye. It would be nice if these flash cards could include stripped down versions of these stories, as these are the Heisig link between kanji character appearance and meaning.
