Read full descriptionHide full description
Aplicación en catalán. Aquesta aplicació permet estudiar Kanji seguint el pla d'estudis de l'Escola Oficial d'Idiomes de Barcelona Drassanes. Es poden seguir 3 mètodes diferents per estudiar: - Kanji: Veus el Kanji i has de pensar el seu significat i pronuncia. A continuació veuràs el vocabulari relacionat i hauràs de pensar els significats. - Vocabulari: Apareix la paraula i has de pensar la pronunciar i el significat. - Yomi: Es mostra el significat i pronuncia d'un Kanji. Has de dibuixar-lo i després podràs comparar-lo i veure com es dibuixa. Finalment es repassa vocabulari. Funcionalitats: - Cada mètode permet seleccionar quina o quines lliçons es volen estudiar. - Es pot marcar un kanji o una paraula i després estudiar només les marcades. - L'ordre de repàs pot ser consecutiu o aleatori - Si no tens temps d'acabar de repassar una lliçó, no et preocupis, l'app recorda per on anaves i després podràs continuar.

The most relaxing way to learn Japanese numbers 1 through 16: swipe, merge, and climb from 一 (one) to the legendary golden 十六 (sixteen). No ads, no timer, no pressure. Just a simple game to enjoy :) HOW IT WORKS • Swipe to slide the tiles across the board. When two matching kanji touch, they merge into the next number. • Every tile is a Japanese numeral: 一, 二, 三… all the way up to the legendary golden 十六. • Made a bad move? Undo it and try again. • Your best games are saved in your score history so you can try to beat your personal best with each new game. WHY KANJI NUMBERS? Numbers are the perfect first kanji.

That's the trick: your brain learns the symbols while it's busy having fun. THE VIBE • A relaxing soundtrack made for long, zen merge sessions. • Clean board, hypnotic sakura, satisfying merges. • No ads, no sign-up, works completely offline. Made with love.
