Better than Duo

Japanese was my first language but after starting public school in the US, I quickly lost fluency. As an adult, I’ve tried many different programs and methods to learn the language again. MochiKanji does a great job gamifying the task of vocab learning. Not only to learn words, but kanji, pronunciation and contextual examples as well. The spaced repetition is done well and the app does a great job with reminders and motivation to review daily. I have ADHD so forming a habit of learning has always been my biggest challenge. I do supplement with podcasts to practice listening and textbooks for grammar learning. But if you need a fun way to learn words quickly and make them stick, this is a great app!

Great app

Using this app is really finally helping me learn Kanji and vocabulary. My big complaint though is you can only review words when the app tells you to and I get that it’s focusing in on the golden time but I often feel that I need more review than it’s allowing. Or if I have extra time to review some more, it won’t even let me for several hours. If there was an option to do extra reviews outside the golden time, then it would be perfect.

I love it!!

This is a good app for Japanese!! Its so good!! >.<

Ok. Rips off duolingo design

Not useful if you get it already knowing several kanji and don’t want to be forced to ‘learn’ them again before advancing

Mochi kanji is great but..

It needs to have more lessons for free and needs N1 Kanji
