Hi all!

For the past few months I have been working on an App to practice for the JLPT.

It currently has one full test for N4 and I am working on the N3. Each time you try it, it will randomize the order of the questions and the answers as well.

Would really like some feedback. If you want to try it, here's the link:

I'm creating Kanji Dojo - open-source application with the main focus on learning how to write characters and memorize their readings, but I have more ideas in mind. Right now it's available for Android and PC

Features:

• Study kana (both Hiragana and Katakana) and kanji
• Practice by following JLPT levels or school grades
• Create your own list to study, more than 6000 characters in total are available
• Works offline
• No paid content, no ads, I accept donations

Here's a GitHub page where the source-code is, you can also leave feature requests there

It's available on Google Play and F-Droid

Recently I also created a trailer video here where you can see some footage from the app

Hey friends, fellow Japanese learner here. I really wanted to get conversation practice in between my tutoring sessions, and after trying a bunch of learning apps, I felt disillusioned and made my own with a few friends. We are calling it Nora. It’s a no-nonsense practice tool to help you learn to speak, meant to emulate a real Japanese tutoring session and be an awesome hammer in the learner’s tool belt. 

I wanted to share it with this community, and also see if you guys have any feedback - basically, I want to make this thing as awesome as possible for people who truly want to learn to speak Japanese. If you'd like to try it out, please join the pre-release list here. 

Hey everyone, I just got a Mac computer and I'm struggling to convert to kanji on the Japanese keyboard. I often want to convert a specific word or phrase to kanji, as I may not know the kanji for previous words in a sentence. I don't want to use kanji I don't understand.

On Windows, I would highlight what I want converted, then hit space. On Mac, it just deletes what I want converted. Does anyone happen to know how I may fix this?

Thank you!

I'm starting now from scratch using the Kaishi 1.5k deck and whatever else I find.

No space between words makes it difficult to recognize patterns on my own. I can't tell if a chunk of kana is one, two or three words.

Color coding the words would be helpful, as would a second version of the phrase re-written underneath with the separations.

Don't worry about me forming bad habits with language learning, this isn't my first rodeo and I know when to take the training wheels off.

Also, another request.

Any recommendation for a resource that has multiple examples of simple phrases showing the same concept?

That's something I felt was missing from grammar resources and Anki decks.

I'll use English as an example to show what I mean, a section that aims to teach a bit of the verb be.

I'm cold.

I'm 32 years old. My sister is 29

Steve is ill. He's in bed.

It's ten o'clock. You're late again.

Ann and I are good friends

Your keys are on the table.

This set of phrases is from English Grammar in Use, a great self study book.

That book uses bite sized chunks of grammar, narrow not thorough, more examples than explanations.

This is what a page of the book I mentioned earlier looks like.

https://imgur.com/a/F6AluEO

Literally one brief line of explanation followed by 4 examples phrases.

The trade off is the slower pacing, but learning a language is going for the long haul. The eternal haul.

The grammar resources I've checked have more explanation than examples.

Anki decks use one or maybe two phrases for the same word. For flashcards that's specially bad because it leads to the user recognizing the shape of the phrase rather than a grammar concept or word.

こんにちは！ About a month ago, I asked here for your feedback about what printable resources you would like to see, and some of you said you would like informal common phrases in real everyday Japanese. I've been working hard on the PDF, and it is ready!

Check out Everyday Japanese: 100 Informal Phrases for Casual Conversations!

The PDF features common expressions natives use for everyday conversations in real Japanese. I'm excited about including aizuchi, Japanese interjections to carry conversations well. It will help you communicate naturally, and understand Japanese media like anime.

You will learn how to:
❀ Greet friends and family ❀ Introduce yourself ❀ Get to know people ❀ Have good manners including thank you and sorry ❀ Gather around a meal ❀ Understand each other ❀ Say bye ❀ Express how you're feeling ❀ Ask 5Ws ❀ Make plans ❀ Carry conversations with aizuchi

Featuring:
-Example conversations
-Furigana, Romaji, and English meanings for beginners. Without romaji for more advanced learners.
-Flashcards that can be used for matching and quizzing
-List of phrases with a blank sheet for mining and shadowing
-2 sizes: Letter and PDF for print and digital use
-Anki deck with audio by a native speaker

Please let me know if you have any questions or if there are any other features you would like added. I would be happy to customize for you :) Thank you so much for this idea!　ありがとうございます。

Hey everyone!

I'm currently working through RTK for learning kanji and I am about 500 characters in. I became frustrated that, even though I know so many characters, I am still unable to understand any vocabulary. That led to me create a language learning app that guides you through RTK and introduces common vocabulary as you discover the kanji that make it up. Anyone interested?

i'm looking for japanese youtube channels for immersion, preferably with subtitles. i'm at the lower-intermediate level and want to practice with listening and also intonation and stuff like that. i don't have a preference on genre, but i do like gaming, makeup, vlog, and comedy videos! thank you in advance

Hello,

I'm currently building web based Japanese text analyzer. Pretty much something like lingq.com

But free and open source, so anyone can run it on their own server. Part of this system will be a Japanese dictionary, something like jisho.org

Again Open Source.

Would there be interest in such system once it is ready to be deployed? I also intend to run my own server and keep it free (as long as there are not too many users).

[The English description is below the Japanese description.]

子供の頃、漢字の練習ノートを使っていました。

そのノートには、漢字の下書きが薄い色で書かれていて、その下書きをなぞって漢字の練習をしていた記憶があります。

この体験をアプリで再現できないか、と考えました。

と同時に、隙間時間を利用できるようなアプリにできないか、とも考えました。

​

このアプリはAndroidスマホ用で、常用漢字(2136字)の漢字を練習できます。

機械学習のライブラリを使用しており、手書き文字の認識を行っています。これを利用して、手書き入力文字が正しいかどうかを、アプリで判断しています。

よかったら使ってみてください。ご意見・ご感想いただけたら幸いです。

​

私は、個人開発でアプリ作成しています。

Androidには慣れていないこともあり、アプリにはまだシンプルな機能しかないですが、要望等いただければ機能追加していきたいと思っています。

なお、このアプリは無料アプリですが、広告バナーが表示されます。

[Description in English]

I made an app where we can practice Japanese Kanji, just by handwriting.

​

When I was child, I used a NoteBook(made of paper) for practicing Kanji.

There were the drafts of kanji on that NoteBook which was colored a light color.

And I traced the drafts with a pencil for practice.

I tried to simulate this experience on my app.

I also think that we are able to use our spare time to practice Kanji with this app.

​

This app is a mobile app on Android phones.

Common-use kanji (常用漢字), 2,136 words are supported.

This app uses the machine learning Library to recognize handwritten text.

And this App recognizes your writing automatically, and checks if your writing is correct.

If you are interested, try it. And I hope that I could get some feedback from users of this app.

​

I am an indie programmer and a beginner of android apps.

This app might have few functions. But, if I get some requests, I'll improve or add functions.

And, this app is free, but has "ads-banner".

A while ago I posted about a Japanese reading website called Yomu Yomu and I wanted to let you guys know that the app was just released on iOS! The UI is really nice and it is the same company that made Du Chinese. The stories are pretty interesting and you can turn reading aids on/off so it's great for testing your knowledge.

Hello, I and my brother created a chrome extension for learning Japanese with anime using Crunchyroll.com. Here is the list of our current features:

• Japanese subtitles
• Hover over and click on parsed words to open a popup with translations
• Word popup offers two tabs, word meanings and kanji information
• Highlight the subtitle text to open a Link popup for a quick search on various websites, or build your own google query
• If the subtitles are out of sync, you can adjust the offset yourself
• We provide customizable settings to tailor the user interface to your needs

For now, we only support a limited number of anime, but we will add more if people like it. What we have now is just a foundation that we would like to build on by adding new features (we have a lot of ideas). Please note that we are very early into development, so we appreciate any feedback (especially related to database availability, since we are using a free tier DB service). Thank you for checking it out!
By the way we are in the process of changing the name to ManabiDojo so our homepage might not work at some points.

I am a software developer and I created new translator app:

This app works completely offline (it can be used on an airplane in air mode), that is, the main advantage is that the data is not sent anywhere and you can use it completely confidentially. I would be grateful if you try to use the application and give feedback on the quality of work with the French language.

Hi Friends! I'm currently learning Genki 1 and 2 grammer and have to do a writing exam in a couple weeks. Does anyone have any resources to help writing practice? I don't know if it is just my creativity but I can never figure out what to say using all grammar points I've learnt. I can only ever think of small not complex sentences and have no idea what to do! Thanks friends

NHK easy news does not seem to match with any JLPT level, so I'm just wondering if there is such a resource.

Does anyone know if SuperNative is still working? I saw it mentioned on r/LearnJapanese and wanted to sign up but whenever I try to sign up I get an error. I think it's still running since someone recently said they used it but maybe they aren't accepting new accounts? I tried on both my desktop and phone.

So, I was wondering if anyone here knew any good Japanese History resources. I love history but hardly know any Japanese history. Mostly just through bits of anime & I doubt the real thing involves as many anime girls… I thought it would be great when studying the language to also learn more about the history of the country. There are podcasts out there & of course will be books. But I was curious as to if anyone here has any recommendations on some good ones. Thanks 🙏

Hi there.

I am looking for online classes where i can practice my Japanese. I am currently at n4/n5 level and would like to find an online teacher who can either teach me 1vs1 or in group.

Any recommendations are welcome

Not sure if this is the right subreddit but I started learning Japanese two weeks ago. So I want to watch something in Japanese (anything) and for the subtitles to be in english but Japanese. What I mean is kitsune to inu desu to be written out like that, not with hiragana / kanji letters. So I can see the word and what they are saying. I am learning the alphabets too but I can’t read them that fast.

Pls help. I tried netflix but it only showed the subtitles in hiragana / kanji.
