User reviews

Cute and effective

A tricky setup, but once it’s up and running it seems to be a great intermediate place to continue once you’ve learned the basics somewhere like Duolingo etc. Awesome for getting over learning plateaus and getting a more in depth look at grammar and kanji meanings.

Engaging and easy to follow
