Thank you so much for your efforts!! This app is amazing, it helped me so much (and still does)! I will absolutely buy the Japanese Intermediate app. I've always wanted to learn Japanese and this app is a huge help! I absolutely recommend it to anyone learning Japanese. The explanations, exercises, cultural notes- everything is great. I have no complaints.
This really is a very good app for learning Japanese and should definitely be used by anyone wanting to learn Japanese. What sets it apart from Duolingo is that it teaches the "why" of it all as you go, giving context to things like the particles and how to draw the characters, as well as insights into the evolution of the language and Japanese culture. What also sets it apart from Duolingo though is that it doesn't drill you on the things you have learned in each lesson, just a short quiz at the end. The primary area where I found this a problem was in learning the hiragana and katakana characters, those really need to be drilled to stick. Pair it with the first few lessons of Japanese on Duolingo and perhaps a couple of the kana practice apps though and you've got an incredibly well rounded process for learning Japanese. If you try the Lite version and decide to switch, know that your progress doesn't carry over to the new app, so I recommend switching sooner than later.
Don't be fooled by the lack of shiny graphics that has become common place in learning a language on your phone. This app is truly an excellent resource for anyone wanting to learn japanese. It isn't just a bunch of random memorisation, but explores the explanations of why things happen in certain sentences. If you have never learnt japanese you may want to use another resource (such as flashcards) to help you learn hiragana along side this app, as it is a very steep learning curve. 10/10!
Worth the money, I find is that the app is drills a bit too much vocabulary before going into some of the verbs... So unless you jump through chapters, you're gonna be limited for a while. Also needs some better kana exercises... Needed another app to assist with kanas drills, but otherwise it is a pretty great app to introduce you to japanese. I love it because it allows you to effectively self-pace that japanese 101 course.
Great app for grammer, basic vocabulary and general background. I really like the option to roam free without having to do the tests. I found it hard to practice what I've learned so far, due to the practice quiz not being able to load when in the 'questions you got wrong' mode. I also found it hard to practice the scripts (I just used some quiz online for that) But again, really liked it as a framework for my learning even if I used other material to complement it
This app is great, especially for those who just started learning Japanese. Although the price is quite expensive ;-;, the experience will play a crucial role in supporting your progress. :)) P/s: I wish the price was a little cheaper so that I wouldn't have any troubles on payment :))
Excellent introduction to Japanese featuring smart, engaging lessons in a writing style that makes learning feel natural while also explaining grammatical nuances in ways that make sense. HJ effectively introduced the Japanese writing system, sentence structure and vocabulary. Personally I wrote notes and vocab from each chapter which helped with retention (at least for me) and made it easier to flip between chapters to review, but for 10 bucks you really can't beat this intro to the language.
An app to really take advantage of and truly appreciate. No one source can give you the full scope of the language or any language. Learning them is a life long commitment. But what this program does do well, is provide a solid foundation with simple explanations, quizzes, etc. I definitely recommend this app. I'm starting the intermediate version and using Satori reader by the same company.. really great programs 😀👍🏾
Absolutely IN LOVE with this app! Have been using it for a while, and I definitely feel like I'm learning. Genuinely starts from the beginning, and goes into explanations that will make Japanese make sense! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that you can't sync progress across devices... I've had to start over SO many times...
I would have paid double for the paid version if they had asked. No other app has taught me as much about the Japanese language as Human Japanese. The lessons are not only easy to understand, the information in them is thorough and much more complete than any other app I've seen. You don't just learn common phrases with this app, you learn the structure and flow of the language so you can build your own thoughts and ideas rather than being limited to the phrases you memorized. So worth it!
