Friendly grammar teacher

I’m using this to recap my Japanese grammar and it’s a friendly, fun way to do so. The content is definitely worth five stars but the app is designed for a phone screen does not size well. You can run it at full screen on a Mac or iPad but not seemingly in a window

Lived in Osaka

I lived in Japan for two years and learned as much as I could, but I didn’t know why verbs conjugated certain ways or why kanji has two pronunciations. Knowing the why makes all the difference. Understanding builds my confidence that I can learn some of the aspects of the language that I’ve struggled with for years.

Great for self study!

I live in Japan and have been studying Japanese on my own for years. These apps are perfect for self study because they are interactive and easy to understand.

Top notch

This is a fantastic app for learning Japanese. It's beautifully crafted and the lessons are informative whilst still being easy to follow. The example dialogs are casual and conversational and more relevant to the average Japanese learner I'd say than other books I've used. There a several reasons that this app beats books: 1) The ability to quickly look up words that you may have forgotten. 2) The ability to listen to words and dialog. 3) The ability to check your understanding and retention of knowledge with tests and graded exercises. 4) The excellent planning and division of the language into lessons that focus on skills and knowledge in a thoughtful order. 5) The author's ability to cut down complex structures in a way that has you learning the most important and basic rules first, then adding complexity gradually. If there's one shortfall, it's that there's just not enough kanji covered. But maybe this will be done in Human Japanese Advanced - here's hoping :)
