The software goes much deeper than just vocabulary, drawing the student into the real mechanics of the language, all the while maintaining a warm tone and a sense of humor.The goal of Human Japanese is not just to turn out students capable of repeating canned phrases, but to lay the foundation for real linguistic and cultural understanding. HiNative seems different, based on questions and answers rather than direct learning, will be useful if there is something specific i want to know, or look at other peoples post to find interesting tid bits 8and basic version is free.Human Japanese presents the Japanese language from square one in a warm, engaging tone. Most of my apps have not included conjugated forms, only teach/drill you on the basic form. GENKI Conjugation sounds good! Grabbing it too =) I’ll sort them to my recommended folder and see if I can give them more focus =) I do recognize the name of some of them, have downloaded them but not used much, but kept them (programs I disliked got deleted): Tae Kim’s, Imiwa?, memrise, Google Translate. I will take a look at the other suggestions too. (Japanese Readers Collection Volume 1, also have 2-5) So I’m doing books with translations and explanations instead for now. Could understand enough of level 2 to read through it, but found it harder. I’ve reached a point where I’m able to read and understand level 0 and 1 of the Graded readers. Which is why I feel I’ve done the basics enough time, always ends up trying a new book/program and they all start there Asperger + ADD makes it hard to stick with it =P I’ve fiddled with everything rather than immerse in one, over 15 years now. They sell a bundle with both, and having lots on sentences rather than just words makes them worth it anyway =)Īs far as where my level is, well, all over the place to be honest ^^ My work place have a lot of dead timeįor a basic program (first one) it still seems to add quite a bit, promising to keep itself interesting with cultural notes and being warm, funny and interesting (or so they said =P ). Taking up the phone isn’t always agreeable, but fiddling with the watch while waiting isn’t as noticeable. Would be nice with an app that gives you either random vocab when looking at watch or does flash cards, for easy access when there is a short minute at work with nothing to do. And it plays the sound on the phone, making the watch app useless, since you can’t use it with you phone tucked away in your pocket. I’ve done so many “most basic vocab” ones I probably won’t learn much from it. Seems a bit too basic and not sure if I like it. It’s still in progress so I hope they get it working for us soon =)Īlso tried Nemo. I want the WaniKani app, but have no luck yet. Has a tendency to jump a bit too fast (it’s an interactive story book, you don’t always get to control the speed =/ ) Including a Lion King app where you can change the language! Not made for language learning, but it works. I have all the physical books and all the apps (they are not the same ones, though made by the same people =) ) Also found a few similar apps that seems to have been made for Japanese Children. Most noteworthy on iPad, other than possibility to use most, maybe all of the above, is the “ Graded Readers”. I downloaded and tried a whole bunch of free apps when I first got my phone (two years ago) but really only used the ones mentioned above, never took to any of the others. Believe they cost a tiny bit, but not sure, had them for so long. Thinking of trying the big set recommended in the pinned topic. I also downloaded anki this week, but not sure where to start. Believe it cost a bit, but very worth it! Uses the same repeat system as WaniKani reviews but without input (you decide whether or not you did it right), and doesn’t have lessons (introduces new items based on how many on lowest you have bumped up to next stage) I’ve used an app simply named “ Japanese” a lot. I’m using the AlliCrab app, and loving it! unfortunately the other one (named WaniKani), which also has a iWatch application, doesn’t work for me (crashes on log inn) Does anyone have any good app recommendations? Doesn’t have to be free, as long as it is good =)
