Datagengo is an algorimically-generated list of lessons, each containing a batch of 20 kanji and just enough example sentences to learn those kanji in context.
The core of the method consists in memorizing the example sentences and writing them down repeatedly on paper.
-Lessons are in increasing difficulty according to JLPT levels and school grade indicated in [KANJIDIC2](http://www.edrdg.org/wiki/index.php/KANJIDIC_Project)
-(the JLPT levels used are the old levels N4-N1 and not the new levels, see [this document](https://jlpt.jp/e/reference/pdf/guide2011_e_02.pdf) for correspondence).
+Lessons are in increasing difficulty according to JLPT levels and school grade indicated in [KANJIDIC2](http://www.edrdg.org/wiki/index.php/KANJIDIC_Project).
Example sentences are sourced from the [Tanaka corpus](http://www.edrdg.org/wiki/index.php/Tanaka_Corpus).
