About
Kotobita is a word game for learning Japanese, made for Spanish speakers and fully available in English. Each word is shown with its meaning in your language; you type its reading in kana. When you get it right, a card opens: kanji, reading, romaji, an example sentence with its translation, and recorded pronunciation.
You never have to write kanji: the answer is always the reading, as in the best methods. No Japanese keyboard needed.
Three input modes:
• Choices: pick the right reading out of four (great for starting out).
• Grid: guess the word kana by kana on a gojūon keyboard, with row, column and dakuten hints (た ↔ だ).
• Expert: type romaji on the regular keyboard and it turns into hiragana as you go.
What's inside:
• A daily word, the same for everyone, with streaks.
• Unlimited practice by length and by topic.
• JLPT N5 and N4 vocabulary: 1,430 words with examples in Japanese and Mexican Spanish.
• Beginner, N5 or N4 level with a quick placement test.
• Study: spaced-repetition cards and quizzes.
• Can't read kana yet? Start there: flashcards with a picture for each letter, a narrated line and mini-games.
• A kana chart with はなまる stamps and a kana fixer.
• Pitch accent marks and accent pairs.
• Stamp notebooks by topic and a history of every word seen.
• Interactive tutorial with Lupe the axolotl.
• Light and dark themes, colorblind option.
No account, no ads, no purchases and no internet: everything stays on your iPhone.
Made with care by Upa Lupe Games.

• Clearer Japanese pronunciation for kana: つ, ど, ぶ, こ, す and the combinations (きゃ, しょ…) no longer sound English. • ナ gets a new picture: a flying saucer leaving a trail. • The theme picker no longer gets cut off on large iPhones.
