Learn Japanese for Pc

I've been using this for over a year now and it's the first review I've ever written for an App that I downloaded. I usually don't say anything, but this App REALLY ROCKS! Even after a year I still go back to it and... OH YES... I'm up to grade 5 and pushing with all the other grades. AN AMAZING GAME - if you like to the app different languages or want to the app how to read and write Japanese IT'S A MUST! The part where you can write on the iPad is just ... Wow I LOVE IT! Okay, so I'm a little emotional. It's my favorite game and I find myself writing kanji on paper everyday while away from my iPad just to get better. I haven't noticed any problems with randomization like other users and I play it a lot. But, I do agree with other reviews that this game would be even better if you could match up the Japanese readings as well. Don't get me wrong, the English ones are really cool cuz they help me in 'guessing' the overall meaning with other Japanese Kanji around them! But there is so much that can be done with this App and it's super fun and challenging. As it stands, this is an AMAZING App. I hope to find more Apps like this one. I'd say that for the price with this much detail, and getting to use it everyday, it's definitely worth it!

This actually is a pretty fun game! I usually just use it in the easy mode, so all the selections are visible and I just match them up. I know no kanji whatsoever, and so I'm surprised at how fast I pick them up with this. I can even just play it while I'm on the phone. And it's very satisfying to start recognizing the symbols on packages and whatnot. This would be a must for anyone planning to travel somewhere where kanji is used. I do wish that there were the option to have the japanese word instead of the english word. That would take this app from pretty fun to absolutely incredible. I almost wanted to subtract a star for that, but the truth is, it's beautiful and very well done as it is, so I have to give it five stars

I was in love with this App until I realized that the tile matching doesn't truly randomize throughout the grade level, and it doesn't have an option to select all grade levels to randomize. I've learned the top 16 kanji in each grade, but have never seen (even once) below that in any of the hundreds if games I've played no matter what settings I use. So if you want to only the app 16 kanji in each grade level, this is the App for you. I was looking for something that would challenge me to recognize and the app ALL the kanji in the standard Japanese schooling system, and this just does not deliver. Additionally, it would have been great if the App allowed you to match kanji to its reading along with kanji to translation matching, but if it doesn't randomize then you're stuck in the same place. Fix the randomization and my review will be updated. Add the extras and I'll tell everyone I know to get this App.

Make sure you have a current operating system installed or the app may not run. After playing with the new version I found myself learning the common kana readings (onyami and kunyomi) pretty well. There are some grades where the readings are exactly the same for different characters, so a reading may appear more than once in those games. I haven't encountered this yet, but you should be able to select a match correctly with any of two or more correct choices. The upgrade adds a new and welcome variation. I'm looking forward to the future custom User Game List, which should be helpful to students learning sets of kanji that span different grade levels.
