Human Japanese

Если начинаете изучать японский - очень помогает. Интерактивные тесты, звуки - все есть! Стоит потраченных денег (ч брала сразу пак)

the best educational software I've seen for now

Пока что лучшая программа-учебник, с которой мне приходилось иметь дело.

1) Now status bar is visible and overlays text which is a little bit annoying. 2) I think there was vocab in app which you could access from menu. Is it gone now?

Grammar, vocabulary, tests - fir an English speaker it is an awesome method for learning. As a teacher I highly recommend- especially for people who have short attention span

Absolutely incredible app, well worth buying. Miles ahead of other language learning apps (duolingo has got nothing on this). Actually tries to teach you the language, not just vocab and grammar (again looking at you duolingo). Anyone looking to learn Japanese, do yourself a favour and pick this up!

Human Japanese provides a wealth of fantastic educational content presented in a sensible, clear manner. It’s a boon for those returning to studying Japanese after a long break, including those like myself who were once well into the intermediate phase of learning. The app itself however feels woefully outdated in terms of design and functionality, and it’s not a good experience on iPad. The overall UX feels about a decade out-of-date.

Ive only just started, but this is exactly what most apps arent but should be: well designed, thoughtful, and help you do something without any unnecessary frills like badges and gamification. If you enjoy learning about things by starting from fundamentals, this is for you.

The cultural notes (explanations) really set this app apart and make it super enjoyable to learn and move through the lessons. It’s relaxing and enlightening. Top notch.

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.
