Human Japanese

The app is very good for a beginner. Unfortunately it hasn’t been updated for a while. AlFor example, a portrait modus would be very much appreciated.

Great app! Really helpful and well designed!

really enjoying this app 🇯🇵😍

This app is perfect if you want to start to learn the japanese language. There are over 30 categorized chapters full of interesting facts, quizzes, multiple choice tests. But the biggest part is the main text, a step-by-step tutorial you can easily understand. It took me a few months to read through the whole app and it was fun learning another language. Subarashii

Please update to iPhone 4 retina display,it's looking messy.also,a few more additions would be nice,bring an update..otherwise perfect for learning!! Would only give 5 stars when updated and better.. Thank you

This is a textbook written by someone who has a deep understanding of the commonalities between the Japanese and English language. It’s full of amazing insights and historical context that should make Japanese more intuitively understandable to native English speakers. It will teach you the syllabary (katakana and hiragana), as well as basic grammar for the formal (polite) manner of speaking, and a lot of vocabulary for common situations. There is a second (intermediate) app that gets into informal speech, kanji, and more complex grammatical constructions. A great pathway to understanding Japanese literature would be to use these two apps and then jump into the third app: Satori Reader, as well as WaniKani for more complex kanji. All of the Japanese examples are fully voice acted. It’s important to get used to hearing the language so you won’t sound strange when you try to speak it. Every chapter ends with multiple choice review questions so you can practice what you’ve learned to retain it better. It even encourages you to re-take these quizzes multiple times to master each question, since the choices are randomized each time. I’ve tried a lot of ways of learning Japanese, but these books have been by far the most insightful and useful resources I’ve found. I got a better understanding of the basics by reviewing the material in this book, and I’m loving the intermediate app as well. The intermediate app covers the vocabulary and grammar for a lot of situations that will be useful if you’re traveling in Japan, such as riding trains and speaking to customer service people, and it gives you a great foundation for understanding Kanji which should help when you move on to other resources like WaniKani.

I ve gotten a deeper understanding with the basics than any other application. This app was a friend of mine’s suggestion and he’s currently in Japanese school.

In my opinion, Human Japanese remains unparalleled and my go-to choice in my recommendations to people starting out with the language. All those years ago when I first used the Intro+Intermediate apps, it was my foundation, my staple with my budding Japanese journey. This beats any novice textbook in my opinion. All these years later I found myself returning to Human Japanese to refresh myself with Japanese. From the bottom of my heart, I thank the development team for creating a truly special piece of work, at a fraction of a cost it would take textbooks to attempt to even come close to this. If you're on the fence, just do it, you wont regret it. Always and forever, ありがとうございます。
