Love It

Peepeeeeeeeeeee

Lessons are fun and comprehensive. Most fun I've had learning Japanese so far as well as being the most successful. Definitely suggest it. I bought the bundle outright lol.

I really love using this app and find it extremely helpful. I’ve been taking Japanese classes for two years and find this app just as helpful. It’s like a self-guided course in Japanese culture and language. Highly recommended.

Best Place to Start

Is This Name Taken? Yes it is.

When I decided I wanted to learn Japanese, I felt overwhelmed. I still do. But the authors of this app understand this, and go slow enough for me to understand and follow along. The writing is conversational rather than technical, and I *really* like that. It's like they're saying, "Hey, we know this is hard, but start here. We'll cover more later."

すごい (Amazing)!

I’m planning my first trip in over ten years to visit family in Japan, and I got this app to brush up on my knowledge, since I have very little formal training and haven’t really practiced the language for…well, over ten years. (Gulp!) I’m half-Japanese but mostly grew up in the United States, so other than living in Tokyo for a couple of years and visiting Japan several times throughout my childhood, I haven’t had much occasion to speak Japanese. Human Japanese has proven to be an excellent crash review course, and more than that, it’s helped me understand some fundamental concepts of Japanese grammar that I never learned before. What’s unique about this beautifully designed course is that it explains the Japanese language from a native English speaker’s perspective, so you can understand the reasoning behind the very different Japanese grammatical structures rather than just memorizing rules that don’t make sense. This really helps with retention. Also, the course gradually builds on your knowledge; each lesson uses examples with vocabulary and kana (hiragana and katakana, the two syllabic writing systems indigenous to Japan) you learned in the previous lesson as well as teaching you new vocabulary and kana. Another fantastic feature is that nearly every word and phrase featured in each lesson is accompanied by an audio sample spoken by a native Japanese person, so you can learn correct pronunciation and also practice your listening comprehension. I also got the Human Japanese Intermediate app, which as I understand teaches some kanji (the ideogram-based writing system Japan borrowed from China). I am excited about continuing my language learning with Human Japanese and highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to review or learn Japanese for the first time. I feel confident now that by the time I go to Japan, I will be able to communicate on a basic level and enjoy some small talk with my Japanese relatives.

I learned so much in the last few weeks and it's fun. My only regret is not buying the package deal.

Updated and improved

I first used this app a few years ago. Trying it again on a trip to Japan now and it's been enhanced considerably.

Highly recommend.

This app is easy to understand. It goes step-by-step. I love it, I pick it up and use it in my free time.

Fun and addicting

I studied Japanese 20 years ago and decided to start studying again. I saw a YouTube video of someone using this app and decided to try it. Everything came back and I have picked up on things I didn't get or understand before. I also like the cultural notes and history included at the beginning of new sections.

Never thought I'd be able to learn so effectively through an app

Phenomenal!

Very detailed literature! Easily explains not only all aspects of speaking and writing but also covers culture and Japanese history. Learning a language has never been more intriguing!
