### 4/5 — Aprendiendo Japonés

*2025-09-16, version 7.1.13*

Es una aplicación divertida aunque muy difíciles las frases que ponen para principiantes y con poca ayuda. Estaría bueno poder saber el significado de la palabra oprimiendo en ella.  Solo sirve cuando la palabra está subrayada 
Me gustaría que para principiantes enseñaran lo más básico para poderse comunicar. Pero es una buena aplicación

### 4/5 — Güzel

*2025-08-13, version 7.1.13*

Oldukça öğretici

### 2/5 — Inscription ne fonctionne pas

*2025-06-14, version 7.1.13*

Impossible de s’inscrire sur l’app pour sauvegarder mes résultats.

### 4/5 — Hihihaha

*2025-02-23, version 7.1.13*

Okay 👌

### 3/5 — Keine Erklärung mancher Wörter

*2024-06-26, version 7.1.13*

Ich finde es schade, dass man einfach irgendwelche Sätze ohne vorherige Erklärung mancher Vokabeln erraten bzw. sogar schreiben soll/ muss. Man erhält keine Wörter oder Satzstrukturen erklärt (beim Japanischlernen)

### 3/5 — Deneme uygulaması

*2024-02-03, version 7.1.13*

7 gün deneme dersi için girdim dersi gün içinde tamamladım. Ücretli olduğu için devamını getiremediğim için uygulamanın yararlılığını pek bilemedim. Ama geliştirilmesi gereken kısımlar var bence eklemeler yapılabilir örneğin hikayeler eklenebilir yazma kısmı eklenebilir kanji hiragana katakana

### 2/5 — Motley Mondly

*2023-10-02, version 7.1.13*

I have been using the app to study Japanese for quite some time and just started to also use it for Korean. 
It really is pretty much useless because it errs on the side of super polite which is no way to actually learn a language. 
Gonna give up on it as of now....

### 4/5 — Passage à iOS 17 très douloureux

*2023-09-26*

Application que j utilise quotidiennement , 
Après avoir mis à jour l iPhone sous iOS 17 ( sous iPhone 15 pro ) 
Perte de presque un mois d enregistrement des leçons 
Et surtout impossible de connecter mon compte sur mon nouvel iPhone !!!!! 😭😭
En effet, dès que je veux rentrer mon mdp je n en ai pas la possibilité : le téléphone me propose un mdp robuste et aucune possibilité de le rentrer manuellement .. si je clic sur autres cela fait buguer l app et Elle de ferme automatiquement ……. Merci de régler le problème rapidement 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😭

### 5/5 — Molto utile

### 3/5 — Sehr gut! Aber…

*2022-11-30, version 7.1.13*

Insgesamt finde ich die App sehr gut und man kann wirklich gut mit ihr lernen! Jedoch ist es schade das man kostenlos nur so wenige Lektionen machen kann ):

### 1/5 — Speaking

*2025-12-11, version 7.1.13*

I’ve just tried it have only tried the speaking role play so I have a problem with the roleplay it wishes to set the pace and when I try to say my own stuff it says to speak slowly and also there’s false speaking’s like “father” and “mother” father is actually supposed to be “otousan” and mother “kasan” mean while in the app it said chichi and haha this is stupid

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2023-12-09*

Cut the money and did not give me access to full lessons

### 1/5 — Ternyata

*2021-07-05, version 7.1.13*

Gimana aku mau belajar bahasa selamanya pakai Aplikasi ini banyak bayarnya bisa Gratis gk sih 🔪🔪

### 1/5 — Extremely difficult start

*2021-05-12, version 7.1.13*

I picked the lowest starting level and the first few lessons are so advanced. I don’t know how they think this is how to start learning. Lesson three they wanted me to spell a sentence in Japanese already. Really? Wasted my money. Wish I could get refund a day into it. The few free lessons are easy but the first paid ones much too advanced. The App respond to me telling me there are three levels. I am on beginner level already thank you and it is so advanced I can’t get past the first few lessons. Try another app for English learning Japanese. Unusable. Rip off. So many mistakes my Japanese wife points out.

### 1/5 — Falla la aplicacion

*2020-11-29, version 7.1.13*

No se ven las imagenes y tampoco se escucha,
Pago por una aplicacion que falla arrenglelos

### 1/5 — Inutile

*2020-09-03, version 7.1.13*

J ai fait toutes les leçons pendant un an. (J ai fait une progression de 20% selon l appli). Je ne comprends pas le sens des phrases en écoutant des japonais parler, juste un mot de temps en temps. Il m est impossible de lire un texte même basique... cette méthode d apprentissage est inefficace.

### 1/5 — سسسس

*2020-09-02, version 7.1.13*

سيء حملو مونديالي الي فيه اكثر من لغه هاذا نفس القديم بس احس مدري كيف.🙃ونفس الدفع

### 1/5 — Premium funktioniert nicht

*2020-06-23, version 7.1.13*

Ich habe mir die App runtergeladen und mir 1 Jahr premium für 47.99€ gekauft. Ich habe mich mit meinem Google-account in der App angemeldet und kann am Pc im Browser die Premium-features auch benutzen jedoch nicht in der Handyapp selbst nach erneutem Download.

### 1/5 — UN POCO RÁPIDO

*2020-06-13, version 7.1.13*

Puedes aprender algunas palabras peor la forma de enseñar en muy rápida y no se centra en un solo tema por un tiempo eso hace que se te olviden varias cosas si tu por tu propia cuenta no las vas practicando, TAMPOCO PUEDO PASAR DE NIVELES SI NO PAGO y los niveles son los importantes, Al principio me gusto la aplicación pero después me estresó MUCHO, ARREGLEN ESO PORFAVOR!!💔💔💔

### 5/5 — Excelente!

*2024-04-28, version 7.1.13*

Es un vocabulario activo al que puedes acceder en cualquier parte y a cualquier hora. Puedes también copiar los kanjis en tu cuaderno de estudio (muy recomendable) y poco a poco y de manera imperceptible practicar la audición e interpretación del idioma japonés y de su entonación.
Disfrútalo!

Ottima app per partire da zero fino ad un livello medio. Bisogna sfruttare tutti gli strumenti che offre, audio、 grammatca ( cliccando sui verbi si aprono tabelle)
