Learn Japanese Essentials User Reviews

Full of bugs.

Crashes, looses data and locks up my iPhone, requiring a restart.

Great app

This app is really good for starters try it

Love it

I really like the layout of this app. The vocab is very helpful too. Thank you!

Poorly executed

Sure, it sounds like a good idea, but the mixed level of words is frustrating. You can select individual categories, but you can't go further than that. So, if you select only "Weather", you get 23 words such as "cold front" and "snow". Now, if you're at the level that you need to learn "cold front", you probably learned "snow" several years ago. And if you don't know "snow", you aren't going to waste your time trying to learn "cold front". The same problem exists for all categories. "Numbers" is even worse. There, you have a clump of 46 words. Now, if you don't know "8", are you really needing to learn "quadruple" or "million"? This is crazy, and this app has been like this for years, but never fixed, only it now has ads, although since I never use it, that doesn't matter. I guess I keep hoping it'll improve enough to be useful. Still waiting.

It's really good with this app, if I study really hard I'll be able to learn Japanese easy and quick.๐Ÿ‘

Better Than Rosetta

I love all their language learning apps (I have French, Spanish, Japanese, and Portuguese). They are easy, fast, and effective. In fact, I learned more using their (FREE) app, and in less time, than I did with my $299 Rosetta Stone. And notice I said their "free" versions.... I can imagine their full versions are even better - and I intend to purchase all of them.

I love it!

More words please I'm eager for more!

Way too unorganized

Very random which made things confusing.

Yay!!

It amazes me of how much I have learned in thirty minutes and am getting use to the kanji a bit but the numbers and months are my strong points but the days are my weakest haha. I enjoy learning from this app. I am suppose to get ready for my mandarin class but I wish they had Japanese haha!!

Best flash card Learning tool

This is a very nicely designed app and an exceptional learning tool if you already know the Kana enunciation.
I would give it 5 star if:
-It had more words and categories
-Was not missing the word for "spring"
Also, Kanji is just way too difficult for most learners so a Katakana option would be useful. Please keep expanding this app! I will definitely pay for a larger dictionary say of 2-3,000 common words and then common phrases using same learning format.

Terrible!

I looked at this app for five seconds and they were pronouncing everything wrong! It's unorganized and just unhelpful.

Good app

Taught me how to say the date in Japanese which is pretty cool...and only in 2 hours! Wonderful app! Keep making more updates!

Great!

Good app! The reason that there is not enough words is because the full version is 9.99$. Which Is worth it :P

Useless

Its a waste of time! Nothing you need to know is here

Excellent

Very helpful and interactive!! Easy learning!

Random words?

This app is really good but the words here are just random and out of place! They should put one category for numbers, another for months, another for colors and so on. I had autumn to baby.. I hope they do something about it in an update :)

Just review:

One of the outstanding app!
Keep up!

Good

Love

It's really helping me learn some Japanese ;) & I love the flash card system. Great free app
