I've been using Duolingo to learn Japanese for over 2 years and after playing this for only an hour, it's been much more informative. It's also really fun and less stressful!

I like this game enough that I am replaying it over from the start. The devs have added to the previous areas and there is no such thing as bad practice. wouldn't recommend as sole source of study if you are serious but it is so good for fluency and input/output practice for n5 or n4 level students. the development team add new areas that progressively get harder so the level will likely increase over time.

I love that kanji's are used right away. it makes no sense to me to learn a kanji word with only the hiragana. I knew hiragana before getting this game and it was really helpful.

Increíble

Divertido, entretenido y educativo. Un juego hecho con amor. Sirve para aprender japonés desde el principio. Historia, cultura, minijuegos y descripciones. Sin duda, una aplicación que voy a recomendar a todas las personas que quieran aprender japonés. Gracias por crear esta maravilla.

This app is a game changer

As a busy mum I have been trying to learn Japanese through various apps as I just don’t have the time or capacity for text books. This app is by far the funnest and most interesting way to learn. It makes learning kanji and sentence structure (both of which I was really struggling with) fun. I find it both challenging and rewarding. It is quite addictive. I highly recommend it.

Usable Japanese grammar!

This is the best app for making you actually create Japanese sentences. Other apps have been great for just learning vocab, or kanji. Wagotabi gets you using the grammar you learn to solve problems and complete quests. Japanese is a hard language to learn from an English base, this game format is so fun and makes it easy to keep practising.
