Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, has released a nice app for learning kanji!
The name is たふマルリン👇
(All pics are cited from this page)
[🇯🇵Trivia🧠]
Btw, their campus is very beautiful & large! So it is used for many film/TV drama shootings😉
日本語指導が必要な児童生徒は文科省が公表した調査によれば2021年5月時点で約6万人とされています。本学はこのたび電通大との連携により、多言語対応の漢字学習アプリ「たふマルリン」を開発しました。皆さまのお近くに必要としている方がいれば、ぜひ教えてあげてください！

Even NYTimes introduced it!
✅定時=teiji=regular office hours

The next book I'm reading is「わたし、定時で帰ります」and I already love the main character and hate her co-workers with a burning passion!
I love how right away it points out how broken the attitude of working overtime and never taking days off is.
