For detailed instructions, see the Component builder how to guide.

To find any kanji, first try to identify the components it is made up of. Once you have identified any component, search for it in any of three ways:

Draw it in the drawing area
Type the name in the text area
Look for it in the list

Example: look up 漢

Notice that 漢 is made of several components: 氵艹口夫
Draw any of these components (one at a time) in the drawing area, and select it when you see it
Alternatively, look for a component in the list. 氵艹口 each have three strokes; 夫 has four strokes
If you know the meanings of the components, type any of them in the text area: water (氵), grass (艹), mouth (口) or husband (夫)
Keep adding components until you can see your kanji in the list of matches that appears near the top.

Draw a component in the center of the area, as large as you can
Try to draw the component as it appears in the kanji you're looking up
Don't worry about stroke order or number of strokes
Don't draw more than one component at a time

My mastery summary

For an adjective that describes an emotion, the がる construction allows you to say that another person is feeling (or acting as if they are feeling) that emotion.

For example:

は
恥
ずかしい I feel embarrassed ➜
は
恥
ずかしがる he/she feels/acts embarrassed
こわ
怖
い I feel scared ➜
こわ
怖
がる he/she feels scared

In the case of

ほ

欲

しい (want something) and 〜たい (want to do something), がる allows you to say what you think another person wants.

For い adjectives, the い is replaced with がる. For な adjectives, the がる is just added.

は

の

では

に

ずかしがる。

を
