Super lern App mit Pokemon Vibes!

Sehr durchdacht und liebevoll gestaltet. Lernen macht Spaß und fühlt sich nicht wie lernen an mit dieser App!

Conception d’une étonnante qualité

Outre l’aspect linguistique, qui permet une entrée en matière ludique et challengeante, on voit d’emblée l’effort de conception du jeu — les graphismes sont propres, les fonctionnalités déjà consistantes ; en sommes, un terreau fertile pour aller loin !

Response from developer

Merci pour le retour d’expérience! Nous avons mis des années à peaufiner la structure de Wagotabi en nous basant sur nos années d’expérience d’apprentissage du japonais et des recommendations de professeurs. Les mises à jour sont régulières avec plus de contenu! N’hésitez pas à parler de Wagotabi partout autour de vous, ça nous aide énormément!

Wonderful app

This app is very awesome as it slowly replaces the English with Japanese. Awesome way to immerse yourself and interact with the language that doesn’t feel like studying and great for when you don’t feel like learning from books. Hopefully the devs add more content soon.🤞

Response from developer

Thank you! It took us years to experiment while developing Wagotabi and finding the right balance between learning, fun and immersion! We are regularly adding new towns and learning content. Our vision is to add much more content step by step. First covering N5 and then above. Please tell people around you about Wagotabi, this helps us a lot!

Best way to learn

This is so much fun!! I remember staying up at night for hours to keep playing. I’m already envious of people who will play this once it’s finished!!

Amazing!!

Very well thought and designed - extremely engaging!!

best app for beginners

great app!!!!

This app truly helps

このアプリは素晴らしいです!日本語が全く分からなかったが、読み書きでき、話せるようになった。このアプリは、日本語の学習を始めたい方や文法を完璧にしたい方にとって、私が最もおすすめするアプリの一つです。

Awesome gamification of language learning

This app will be the best money you ever spend on Japanese resources. Something like Duolingo doesn't even compare with this. It is much better and goes more in-depth about grammar topics.

Amazing Game

Very well made.

Cheers!

Amazing Game

Very well made.

Latest update 1.00.0524 prevents gamepad cursor from reaching past the top half, and rightmost 3rd of screen. Visually the cursor only reaches a portion of the screen but out-of-reach UI elements still respond to it in the background. Seems like a drawing issue.

Cheers!

OMG what a find!!!

I’ve played maybe 3 hours at this point and honestly this is the best tool I’ve ever found to learn Japanese, it’s a real game (basically a JRPG) and you can only progress by learning the language! For sure I want to complete all 27 levels! Thanks to the designers!!

Actually works

I learnt more in one month of this game than I did in a year with the green owl.

Absolutely recommended.

Most engaging way I’ve found to use JP

My problem has always been finding material for my starting level, and Wagotabi scales perfectly and is super fun, to boot.

Very good educational game

The his game has been extremely helpful with my journey to leading Japanese. It is honestly a very good learning device. 10/10 recommended.

Amazing

Thank you for creating this app and making it cheap. As someone who struggles with money but genuinely excited to learn, I’m deeply grateful.

Amazing approach to learning

I am more than happy to support this team. I’ve been playing on Steam. Don’t let the graphics fool you. So far this is the best, most engaging learning app of all the ones I have used. Light years better than Duolingo (which is waaaaay overrated). Better than bento, Kama, innovative language learning (which are also quite good).

Excellente application

Excellente app qui rend l’apprentissage ludique. Il y a des mises à jours qui l’améliorent, il serait néanmoins pratique de laisser la possibilité de voir la traduction des phrases des pnj

Makes learning Japanese interesting

Very well structured and fun to play. The best part is that the developers continue to update it, so it grows in value over time. And do check out BAND-MAID that’s mentioned in the game!

Game changer!

This is by far the best app I have ever used for learning Japanese and I have used *a lot* of them. It is engaging and immersive and combines elements of culture with well-explained grammar points. The puzzles are really fun to work through and feel more exciting than just a standard testing format. The characters are cute and fun and the story arcs tie in with each prefecture beautifully. As a language teacher, I was so impressed by some of the challenges and situations which were really clever ways of practising specific skills. I will say that it can be fast paced — I knew most of the content available already, but it has taken me over a year to learn, whereas this I was cracking through in a week or so as it was so engaging! Additionally, your experience will be better if you already know hiragana and katakana. In any case, I am eagerly awaiting new updates and I hope they come soon.
