BEST JAPANESE LEARNING APP EVER

Love it!

Would love a crossover

Hello! As someone who has a hard time learning languages, I found this to be one of my top favorite apps. I recently switched from Apple to Android and was very disappointed not to find this on the Play Store, and I was hoping this would one day also be on the Play Store if possible.

i have so much fun playing this

but the lessons are a bit repetitive, so i think that they should add learning games

Most fun and educational Japanese App I’ve found yet!

Had so much fun I was sad when it ended although I finished it quick since I was already well versed in Japanese N5 levels.
