good

Hi team,
I’m an intermediate Japanese learner aiming for JLPT N2.
I would like to ask: will there be a feature that lets players choose to start directly from JLPT N2 content and skip the previous beginner chapters? This would make the game much more useful for learners who are past the beginner stage.
Thank you!

BESTT GAME EVER

The progression of Japanese throughout the story is paced quite well and this is truly the most “gamified” way of learning Japanese that I’ve ever experienced! Genuinely worth the small upfront cost!!

애플에서 삼성폰으로 바꿨는데 계정연결이 안될까요?

삼성폰으로 다운받을려면 무조건 구매해야 다운받을수 있어서요

Response from developer

소중한 리뷰 감사드립니다. 삼성과 애플은 서로 다른 플랫폼이기 때문에, 와고타비는 각 플랫폼에서 별도로 구매하셔야 하는 점 양해 부탁드립니다. 또한, 여러 플랫폼에서 이용하시는 데 부담이 없도록 와고타비를 합리적인 가격으로 제공하고 있습니다. 감사합니다.

Exemplary App A+

This app is what really helped me hone in on the basics I was missing to fully understand the fundamentals of starting to learn Japanese. With everything else I was just memorizing and not really understanding. Now I can continue my journey. ありがとうございます!

Funnest way to learn Japanese

This game is so good for anyone trying to learn Japanese. I even ended up gifting this game to a cousin of mine outside the country! Hopefully, by the time I finish this game, the devs will have released Wagotabi 2: Next Stop, N4
