Here's some more Sesame Street approach for aspiring Kanji experts. Homebrew developer billylee8 has released PSP Kanji Learner Set 2 over at the QJ.NET PSP Forums.

For starters, the Sony PlayStation Portable application runs a series of instructional video flash cards on how to write these complicated Chinese-based Japanese characters. Those who have mastered Set 1's eighty Grade 1 kanji will be delighted to work on PSP Kanji Learner Set 2's 160 Grade 2 characters.

If you think 160 is already a lot, wait until the entire project finishes. billylee8 has indicated that this is just the third update in a series of twelve. There are 1,945 daily use kanji including the 1,006 edicational ones, all of which the developer intends to represent with a video flash card each.

But as they say, haste makes waste, thus, billylee8 plans to only create cards for twenty kanji a day (or every other day). Have a say about the app? Head over the forums for your feedback. Make sure to also check the readme for more information.
