We looked at two apps, one focused on Japanese reading and writing skills as well as spoken Japanese, and another dedicated more narrowly to reading and writing. Though many language apps cater to beginners, we found a few exceptions with more advanced content. We decided to test mobile apps that help people improve their skill in a foreign language beyond the spoken word. Though it wasn't our native language, we were far more fluent in it when we lived in Japan years ago.

Whether you've worked through the original Human Japanese app or have come from a different background, it will be our pleasure and privilege to be your guide on the next stage of your journey.An upcoming trip to Japan recently motivated us to buff up our rusty Japanese. We care deeply about helping you to grow in your understanding of Japanese. You'll find tours of hotels, train stations, convenience stores, supermarkets, kissaten (coffee shops), temples, and more. We've packed Human Japanese with hundreds of photos, illustrations, and cultural asides to keep you interested and energized. Quizzes keep track of which questions you get right and wrong, to help you concentrate on your trouble spots.Īnd when you get a question wrong, it's not simply 'Try again.' Wherever possible, the quiz provides a hint that is specific to that question, to help you remember and learn. Stay sharp with five different kinds of quizzes: chapter reviews, vocab, conjugation, kanji stroke order, and kanji flashcard. This approach removes the most overwhelming aspect of learning kanji-the fact that most sentences contain many characters you don't yet know-and that helps you to stay focused and energized. So early on, you might encounter the following sentence:īut later, after you've met several of kanji used in these words, the version you would see is: To this end, Human Japanese Intermediate keeps track of which kanji you've learned at what point in the text and automatically adjusts the 'spelling' of words in example sentences as appropriate to your current knowledge. Our goal is not to simply throw a bag of characters in your lap, but to carefully explain how everything works.
