Wagotabi: Learn Japanese

今日は！今日はきれいだ、ね？ This is my second review and OH MY I learnt so much. I learnt how to drink pan, and eat mizu XDD. Best Japanese learning app on the platform. Duolingo teaches in a way that is effective for european languages, but wagotabi is unmatched with their PERFECT combination of learning and exploring. It also keeps you thinking by replacing some english text with Japanese (Smart test —> 勉強する (Study/to study if I’m not mistaken) I think this deserves recognition by all japanese learners!

I was looking for an app to learn Japanese through immersion and so far it has been so simple to play and understand. I like it how they have combined resources from actual Japanese textbooks into the game. It’s easy to understand from the beginning as they start from the very scratch and gradually build up your phrase bank. You don’t have to stress much about doing your reviews as it is rather at your own pace. I have tried the demo before and have decided to fully support the authors. Looking forward to the game on Steam and Desktop platforms!!!

I have only gotten to the bus stop right now but this app is such a great tool to learn japanese for me ( ^ω^ )

I think it is by far the best Japanese learning game (or perhaps app!) available in iOS. The method is effective and the user can learn a lot with little effort. The story is engaging and the art is very cute, they both help to characterise the prefectures where the game is set and to teach also about Japanese culture and places as well as the language. As if this were not enough, the game has a free demo and it does not use predatory tactics such as subscriptions or always on internet access: you buy it once for an affordable price and it is yours for life! I couldn’t recommend it more.

This is a pretty great game, the first language learning game that I actually found fun, but the audio isn’t working for me. It worked my first time playing but now there’s just nothing, I checked my volume, Bluetooth, and in game settings, but there’s just nothing. Edit: oh my god right after writing this review I tried flipping the physical “do not disturb” switch on my iPhone and it unmuted the game audio. Why????? Why would you make it work like that? Please change that 😭

This game is amazing, I haven’t gotten super far into it and I already know hiragana and am learning Katakana and some Kanji. This is a perfect addition for anyone looking to learn Japanese and add a little bit more fun into it. Plus it is teaching you super useful things, like immersion but a couple thousand dollars cheaper and people won’t judge you and start speaking English when you didn’t catch what they said the first time in Japanese, you can just replay it and get instant visual feedback with kana and explanations.

One of the best developed learning Japanese RPG games I’ve played so far. Please download and support this game and developer. Can’t wait for them to add more content to this game ! Thank you for your hard work!

This app is fantastic! It makes studying feel like playing a game, which is awesome. It’s definitely for beginners. I’m not a beginner, but I’m still having a great time. I hope they add intermediate and advanced levels in the future.

I’ve been playing this on and off, and I absolutely love it. I’m already (kind of) experienced with Japanese, mostly using duolingo. I’ve played the demo on steam and I loved it, so I got this one finally. It’s super good, I love it. I’ve learned stuff duolingo didn’t teach me at all in the earlier lessons. What I think I really love is how it introduces kanji. It doesn’t give you the reading and then randomly introduces the kanji and hopes you remember, it gives you the kanji and reading at once. And it only gives you the kana that you need for those words so you don’t have to memorize all the other ones you don’t need yet. I’m in love with this app, I really recommend it. It’s helped me a ton.

This game does what so many other learning games wish they could do. It makes learning fun and isn’t super stressful. The grammar explanations for the particles are clear and easy to understand. I love that I can try to rephrase sentences over and over until I get it right without being punished for it. This game really feels like the perfect balance between learning the language and having fun. Something that I thought was impossible to achieve. Absolutely excellent work devs!
