We made a kanji dictionary: doknya.com/kanji
The animations model a pen with bounded acceleration. I think it's kind of hard to tell the difference, though.
There are some kanji study sets. The "Doknya expert" list has frequent kanji that aren't present in JLPT sets.
Early Christmas songs with Shion (2yo).
(Super Mario World music plays)

It's fun to ride in a sleigh, hey hey
Jingle, oh jingle
Jingle them sleigh bells
Jingle, oh jingle
Jingle them bells
Kei (4yo): Kei wa nan guramu? (How many grams is Kei?)
Me: Hmm. Maybe about 17,000 grams.
Kei: Yes, I think so!
Kei: Papa wa nan guramu? Maybe about 1 million kilograms!
We made this Go game for our kids. They like it!
It's not a full game of Go; it's an arcade game that helps you learn the capturing rules. So it's kind of a partial introduction to Go.

I'm interested in mnemonic theories, i.e. ways of organizing knowledge for easier memorization.
I took a shot at mining some cognate pairs for word formation patterns. This is for English/Spanish. If you'd like to see another language, let me know!

Does anyone know how to bookmark a silly voice?
Like, sometimes I do a silly voice that I'd like to do again later, but a silly voice is a slippery thing and I don't know how to get back to the same one.
Kei (4yo) is developing some puns. Standing at a crowded intersection:
"Hito ga iru." (There are people)
"Hito ga inu." (People are dogs)
"Inu ga inu." (Dogs are dogs)
"Inu ga iru!" (There are dogs!)

(Hint: 4096 was not the answer.)
