About

Hello, I am Stephane (aka thaos), an independant developer and language enthusiast. I created Jitaku after noticing that I could barely handwrite any kanji despite having learned Japanese for more than 10 years and holding JLPT N1.

I have put all my efforts trying to incorporate all my learning experience and make the memorization process as fast and enjoyable as possible. Learning Japanese is a long and beautiful journey, and I really hope Jitaku can accompany you even during a small part of the trip.

I would like to thank all the people who helped me and supported me during the development process. I would also like to thank you for reading until here, and would be happy to read from you if you have any feedback or question.
