Kanken Pangrams


Hey everyone,

I know Kanken isn't everyone's cup of tea. I stand by it as a great way to subdivide the Joyo and Kyoiku kanji into more manageable (and testable) chunks. This isn't a post arguing about why it's useful, but asking if anyone knows of or would like to help produce a piece of work for preparing for the Kanken.

This Note user has made two of what I'd like to make for the higher levels of Kanken. This is a simple pangram, a short piece of writing to copy down as practice writing each character. The Kanken test itself is much more than a writing test, but as the levels get higher, reviewing the mounting numbers of kanji can get overwhelming, and this practice can at least spark a memory of previous levels.

Essentially, making one for each of the levels between 7 and 2, where each pangram consists of at least one iteration of each kanji from that level and no kanji from any more advanced level. The content should make sense sentence by sentence, but tbh, it doesn't necessarily need to make sense overall. Prose works too, just like いろは歌 works decently.

My thought is that we could create these and it could also help Japanese elementary schoolers prepare for tests. Lmk if interested.
