help Nihongo Shark FAQ

Is Nihongo Shark still actively supported as a separate Japanese-learning platform?

No. Nihongo Shark's own course notice says the project became NativShark and that Nihongo Shark content is no longer being updated or supported. [Nihongo Shark notice](https://courses.nihongoshark.com/courses/kana-course/lectures/13344954)

How many kanji was Nihongo Shark's 97-day challenge designed to teach?

The challenge was designed around the 2,136 Joyo kanji, originally studied at about 22 new kanji per day for 97 days. It used mnemonics and daily Anki reviews rather than relying on handwriting practice alone. [Nihongo Shark kanji guide](https://www.nihongoshark.com/post/learn-kanji)

Did Nihongo Shark use Anki or its own spaced-repetition system?

The original Nihongo Shark kanji workflow used Anki decks and Anki's spaced-repetition reviews. Its guide describes an imported deck containing 2,200 cards, while the challenge itself targeted the 2,136 Joyo kanji. [Nihongo Shark kanji guide](https://www.nihongoshark.com/post/learn-kanji)

How did Nihongo Shark use mnemonics to teach Japanese kanji?

The method breaks a kanji into meaningful components and builds a visual story around them, such as combining `隹` and `木` to remember `集`. Reviews in Anki then reinforce the character over time. [Nihongo Shark kanji guide](https://www.nihongoshark.com/post/learn-kanji)
