Reviews for Bunpo: Learn Japanese

Been working on learning Japanese for a while. But I was having some difficulty finding an app that was free and easy to use. I have been diagnosed with dyslexia, and because of my dyslexia even my native language can be difficult. Let alone learning another language by myself. This apps approach is friendly to my personal learning style. The lessons are broken into small groups that are well explained and simple.

Bunpo used to be so good before, I used it all the time before I got busy with school. The lessons used to be all free but now there's a paywall, I don't mind that there is one but I just think with the amount of lessons for free use, its too limiting for free trial. If it's too limiting, other people won't know how good the app is until they tried more lessons than 3.

Great help. I managed to learn Hiragana in less than a week, and even picked up a few basic words and phrases. Learning languages has never been easy for me, but this (and some help from my girlfriend) has been a huge boon. Only complaint is that they use a few words that aren't quite proper, like anata (あなた) for "you". Otherwise it's perfect.

So far, nearly no complaints. Leagues better than Duolingo for Japanese. The one bug I've come across so far is not nearly enough of an issue to make me take off any ratings. Only issue so far is that sometimes the voice demos won't load... that's basically it. Will edit this review as I progress further. So far it doesn't test me on things I have not been taught and doesn't force me to pay to redo lessons or get extra lives, unlike Duolingo which has a toxic "lesson" system.

Actually teaches you how to speak Japanese opposed to just words or phrases! It gives you a lesson with great explanations, easy to understand! Then it gives you examples and the best practice i've seen! Very interactive. It also throws in new vocab tht if your not familar with you can click on for definition. I think this app works best on the side of your current studying. Have japanse keyboard. Too expensive ):

I'm using this app to learn intermediate Japanese (N3 level). It has grammar lessons beyond what I learned in four years of college courses. The explanations are clear and concise, and the exercises are well-structured so that they seem easy but also help you get a good initial feel for each grammar point. I strongly recommend this app as a supplement to anyone learning Japanese at the intermediate level.

I like that this app teaches grammar, not just a unch of vocab words that you then hope you can string together. I do wish the developers would include a "dark mode" option. Also the hiragana above the kanji is hella small and it would be cool if we could adjust the size of all text on screen, since theres a lot of empty space in many exercises. I wish I could practice fro. All the stuff I've covered so far instead of having to wait several hours for some selection of stuff in review mode.

I really love this app. It's really easy to learn the main parts of japanese. I also love how it's programmed to look. It has a cute design which makes it easier to learn and follow along. However, I think you still need to practice more on your own time to fully comprehend the lessons since most of the lessons go fast. So, I would reccomend always looking back on lessons to study. Other than that, it's a really good app to help learn Japanese.

Best I've ever tried, can learn the basics quite easily and easy to follow. Plus, the way they explain how to pronounce every character with English words as examples is extremely helpful. Not to mention the review test to help you remember the few things you may forget over time. Would much recommend this over Rosetta stone. And what's more is that I've never ran into an ad, enjoying this so much that am even considering purchasing the extra features.

Retention? It's one of the better apps out there for introducing information to you. I appreciate how they graft the alphabet to your memory and have you "reading" right from the beginning, and that makes the whole "learning Japanese" thing more conceivable, but they dont appear to have anything for long term practice or retention.
