So far, I've had a fun time with this app. Its tasks and mini games all work really well in drilling the vocabulary and sentence grammar in your head. Of course you'll have to do some work beforehand like learning hiragana, katakana and a basic grasp on vocabulary and grammar points, but other than that, it has been smooth sailing.

best japanese learning game mine discovered. however if i might make a suggestion. It would be helpful to create a separate app like a flashcard app that is linked via save file to the unlocked dictionary kanji. it would make it easier to study and memorize the kanji when youre on break at work or between classes etc... maybe charge like 2usd for it. it'd be very helpful.

Awesome study tool

Great to use as an extra fun way to study! I’m a beginner, but I’d like to think this game would help me at least get through the airport in Japan. Highly recommend. Radicals and brush strokes aren’t taught but common phrases and public spaces kanji are and that’s very real world applicable too!
