Description
Been playing Write It! Japanese for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that helps you learn the Japanese writing systems of hiragana and katakana. There’s guided lessons and real handwriting recognition, which is pretty cool. Basically you practice writing the characters stroke-by-stroke and it gives you feedback on your accuracy. And
The app’s got a bunch of different practice modes – you can just free write, take tests, or earn stars as you improve. It’s a neat way to get better at reading and writing Japanese. And the lessons are pretty well-made, they start simple and gradually get more complex.
Look, if you’re trying to learn Japanese, you’ll probably dig this app. It’s not perfect – the ads can get kinda annoying unless you pay – but overall it does a solid job of making studying the kana characters actually fun and engaging. Worth checking out if you want to level up your Japanese writing skills.
Editor Opinion
I've tested a bunch of Japanese learning apps and Write It! Japanese is one of the better ones. The handwriting recognition works surprisingly well, and the lessons do a great job of building up your skills systematically. It's not the most exciting app out there, but it gets the job done. If you're serious about mastering hiragana and katakana, this is a pretty good tool to have in your arsenal.
