Learn Japanese!! Software

Tbh, this is the best app I've found for learning Japanese, and although you have to pay a bit to learn everything the app has to offer, it's completely worth it. Also I think that the way that it teaches you is awesome! I looked ahead through the last chapters and saw that it had the hiragana you learned at the beginning then gave the meaning of the word the characters created, and had the kanji underneath. And if you've heard of other things to learn Japanese like a website called lingualift (which costs $15), I think that this half price app is the same quality or better, and although this is just my opinion and you may not agree, you should still get the app and try the free version and see for yourself! I didn't check, but if this company doesn't have any other language learning apps, I would love to see them make some!

I really enjoy this app. Paid for the full version and completely hooked! I spent hours learning and reviewing with this app. It is such a delight feature to have writing practices for hiragana and katakana. Is there room for improvement? Yes. It would be so much nicer if it offered more handwriting styles for hiragana. For example, there is the four-stroke ふ taught by most of the Japanese learning sites I’ve seen but the app only accepts three strokes. Also, it would be great if the app allows user to say “I don’t know” for the handwriting part with a blank screen. It happened to me a few times that I didn't know the answer so I drew random doodles and somehow got it “right” (it was not actually right - just match the pattern the app was expecting). Overall, it is more like a 4.5-star but I gave it a 5-star. Recommend this fun app to beginners!

In duolingo it just has you remember the symbol by itself, this one does it in groups of like sounds, then the next lesson is with the same symbol but with the extra mark (like ki ke ka to gi ge ga).I highly suggest the writing part on because it helps immensely in memorizing them. If you click on the chart on the top it’ll show you what you need help memorizing with colors, like red is just learned, yellow you need work on and green means you got it down and it labels the lesson as “learned” so you can keep track of what you learned and need help with. I also appreciate that in some of the questions it’ll show the letters in classic calligraphy style so it teaches you what it looks like when written that way also. This app is perfect for learning Japanese 10/10 would recommend, the price is so worth it.
