Suggestion to Improve Learning Features for the Japanese Course
Currently, the app heavily relies on romaji during games and lessons, even after teaching hiragana and katakana. While romaji can help absolute beginners, it becomes a crutch that slows down the process of internalizing Japanese scripts. For example, matching hiragana to romaji reinforces translation instead of helping learners think in kana directly.
I think adding an option to toggle romaji on or off would greatly improve the experience for learners at different levels. Additionally, creating matching games where kana are matched to other kana or even to Japanese words or visuals (rather than romaji) could help learners develop kana fluency much faster.
Thank you again for all your hard work on this app! I hope this feedback is helpful, and I’m excited to see how it continues to improve.
