Perfect for adults and kids, our one-of-a-kind app lets you toggle between three Japanese writing systems: kana, kanji, and romaji. To help with memorization, each lesson contains up to 20 Japanese words & phrases along with matching audio clips from a professional native speaking samurai.

It’s time to become one with your touch screen and master the art of speaking Japanese once and for all. * PRESS * USA Today One of the top-three iOS apps that “make the process of learning new words fun.” App Storm “Japanese is a rare example of a beautifully polished and well-designed app and receives a hearty 9 out of 10 rating...It’s cheap, it’s colourful and it’s damn good fun.” App Safari "This app is not just your average, run-of-the-mill crash course... It includes complex exercises, challenges, and lessons that make the learning process fun and effective." * FEATURES * -- 8 addictive and unique games -- 800+ Japanese words & phrases to study and master -- Three ways to practice: Kana, Kanji and Romaji -- Spoken audio clips provided by a native Japanese speaker to help with pronunciation -- Hand-illustrated image library to help memorize words and symbols -- 50 Japanese lessons designed by expert instructors (upgrade required) -- Personalized learning algorithms to maximize memorization, retention & contextual usage -- Enhanced review mode lets you replay previously mastered lessons -- Additional quests & challenges will keep you motivated -- Thoughtful curriculum that may induce smiles and the occasional “booyah!!!” when achieving new high scores * WHAT OUR (SUPER AWESOME) FANS HAVE TO SAY * “I have no Japanese experience, so I was curious what would happen if I gave it a shot. I was immediately hooked and found myself learning the basics without even knowing it.” “I’ve been studying Japanese for 2 years and this is the first time I’ve come across a program I can’t wait to use everyday.” * THE SCIENCE BEHIND MINDSNACKS * At MindSnacks we like to keep it fun, but we’re serious about learning. That’s why our Japanese app includes 8 challenging games designed by education experts. Each game teaches a specific skill and helps create a well-rounded learning experience for both kids and adults that goes well beyond basic flashcards. Of course studying is only worth it if it works, so our unique algorithm reinforces the learning process using proven methods from the field of memory studies. Over time, the games adapt to your individual performance, selectively repeating Japanese words, phrases and grammatical points with which you’ve previously struggled. In other words, as you learn Japanese, the app learns about you for a more effective learning experience. Whether you’re traveling to Japan for pleasure or learning Japanese for business, MindSnacks will help with your grammar and vocab so you can become less reliant on a dictionary or translator. Great for beginning and intermediate learners of Japanese, MindSnacks is like a helpful Japanese teacher that goes where you go and teaches on your terms. * SUPPORT * For more information or support, please contact us at support@mindsnacks.com.
