Human Japanese Intermediate is packed with content and features that will take your Japanese language skills to the next level. If you liked the first HJ, you'll love Intermediate. And if you're new to the series, welcome aboard!

In this Lite edition of Human Japanese Intermediate, you'll find:

- The first 8 chapters of the Full edition in their entirety
- A sneak preview of chapters 9 through 42
- Hundreds of recordings of dialogs and vocabulary words
- Kanji animations, tips, illustrations, and more
- Photos and cultural notes to keep you engaged and energized
- Intelligent quizzes that track your history and help you focus on trouble spots
- INGREDIENTS™ example sentence breakdowns for total clarity in every example

Like its predecessor, Human Japanese Intermediate is built on the idea that the best way to learn and truly comprehend Japanese is to have it explained by someone who speaks your language. Core concepts are explained in a friendly, down-to-earth tone, with frequent comparisons to similar aspects of English. With humor and warmth, it demystifies and illuminates the real nuts-and-bolts of the language--not just vocabulary and canned phrases like many other products.

Explanations come alive with deeply interwoven interactive example sentences so that you can immediately see and hear exactly what you're learning.

Stay on track with an exciting new patent-pending feature called INGREDIENTS™ example sentence breakdowns. Next to every sentence is an icon that provides an instantaneous, simultaneous lookup of every word in the sentence, even conjugated forms!

KANJI
Human Japanese Intermediate also gets into kanji in a big way. At the end of most chapters, a new batch of kanji is introduced, with animations of each character, plus example sentences, illustrations, writing tips, and more. Our goal is not to simply throw a bag of characters in your lap, but to carefully explain how everything works.

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. So early on, you might encounter the following sentence:

そのひとの なまえを しらない。

But later, after you've met several of kanji used in these words, the version you would see is:

その人の 名前を 知らない。

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.

QUIZZES
Stay sharp with five different kinds of quizzes: chapter reviews, vocab, conjugation, kanji stroke order, and kanji flashcard.

Quizzes keep track of which questions you get right and wrong, to help you concentrate on your trouble spots.

And 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.

PHOTOS AND CULTURAL NOTES
We've packed Human Japanese with hundreds of photos, illustrations, and cultural asides to keep you interested and energized. You'll find tours of hotels, train stations, convenience stores, supermarkets, kissaten (coffee shops), temples, and more.

Reviews

Human Japanese is fantastic!
ssslooshy

I love using Human Japanese - it’s fun and straightforward. Human Japanese is exceptional in the way it keeps me engaged with its humorous and accessible tone. (And it also helps that there’s plenty of pictures!) Definitely easy to recommend.


A great app!

I've been studying Japanese for a while now, so I downloaded this for review. It's a great app that introduces grammar in a way that's not painful at all, and I love how you can tap the example sentences to hear them and get definitions for words. Also, I really like the cultural notes because they're actually useful and interesting for people planning on traveling there. If you're looking for a good app to learn Japanese, get this!


Great for learning kanji
Raybuster

I minored in Japanese and studied abroad in Japan. The disappearing furigana makes this app especially effective for learning kanji.


Wonderful course!

I love the “ingredients” feature!


WHERE HAS THIS BEEN?

My god it’s just so polished... I love it! I wonder if Reddit’s /r/LearningJapanese knows about this. Brak, whoever you are, thank you.


Wonderful

This lays out Japanese in a way that’s easily picked up. I’ve studied Japanese casually for a while and this helps with the parts I’ve struggled with. As soon as I think of a question, I turn the page and my question is answered. The interface is polished, pretty, and easy to navigate. The examples are tremendously helpful, and there is a button to the right of the sentence examples that breaks down each part individually. The free part covers a good bit before making you purchase the full version, and, though I haven’t purchased yet, I believe it will be well worth it.
