KML: Kanji, Monet & Learning in the Age of AI

Lesson 0 – Our Philosophy: Why This Matters

Welcome to KML — a method where kanji aren’t crammed, but cultivated. Where AI is your guide, not your boss. Where memory is shaped through story, stroke, and surprise.

🎨 1. Learning Kanji Isn’t Just Memorization — It’s Memory Art

We believe kanji are not just characters to be memorized — they are living stories. Just like Monet didn’t draw a garden but captured the light within it, we aim to see kanji in ways that stir emotional memory and intuition. Expect emojis, stories, and visual echoes that connect the abstract to the familiar.

🔁 2. Spiral Learning Over Linear Grinding

Rather than climbing a mountain of characters once and falling off the other side, we circle upward. We begin with simple elements — radicals, kanji parts — and revisit them in new forms later. This spiral method mirrors how our brains really work: layer by layer, with joyful repetition and surprise.

🤖 3. AI Is Your Guide, Not Your Boss

In the age of AI, tools should empower your own meaning-making. You're not learning for the test — you're learning to see, feel, and connect. We offer personalized prompts, emoji challenges, interactive story creation, and more — but you remain the storyteller.

🧩 4. KML Modules: A Learning Ecosystem
