About this app

Ready to learn Japanese? Meet your personal sensei-in-a-box.

Human Japanese presents the Japanese language from square one in a warm, engaging tone. Going much deeper than the canned phrases and vocab of other products, it approaches the language in an integrated way, with discussion, recordings, animations, illustrations, photos, reviews, and more.

The core promise of Human Japanese is to show you how everything works and never to expect you to magically know things that we haven’t yet taught you. This makes your journey into Japanese a joy, as each new piece that falls into place makes sense and every new example sentence is comprehensible.

Key concepts are explained with warmth and humor, drawing you into the nuts-and-bolts that you need to understand Japanese while keeping things down-to-earth and engaging. Our goal is to lead you from one “light bulb moment” to the next so that you stay energized and excited about the language.

Human Japanese Lite contains:

* The first eight chapters of Human Japanese, with sneak peaks of chapters 9 through 42

* Animations of every hiragana and katakana character presented

* Hundreds of recordings of vocabulary words and example sentences

* Ingredients(TM) example sentence breakdowns on every example sentence for total clarity

* Interactive games and review quizzes that keep track of your response history to help focus on trouble spots

* Dozens of photos and cultural notes to connect your Japanese to real life

* And more more!

Human Japanese will impress you with its warmth, beauty, and wit. Download it today and start your journey!

Incredibly wordy, not saying that is necessarily bad it can just be overwhelming, but some people learn better like that I'm very impressed by the knowledge available. It truly explains japanese fundamentally, unlike other language apps I've personally encountered. but it seems to progress rather quickly and also not really in the right ways for me. Anyone serious about japanese should try humanjapanese, but be aware this "lite" app is rather limited in scope, seeing as it is a free resource.

I love this app. Unlike other language learning apps (cough cough Duo), it actually takes the time to explain grammar and includes cultural context in addition to the language aspect, which is both important and very interesting to me. It's fairly simple to read and has a more casual feeling than a textbook while still being akin to one. I've been using this in conjunction with Busuu and have made more progress in a matter of weeks than I did for a year with Duo. Def going to upgrade when I can.

Amazing app. Most likely the best one out there, it actually explains things in great detail and focuses on teaching properly rather than the more popular useless gamified language apps like duolingo that does nothing but repeat few generic phrases and words.. I almost never buy premium versions but this one is certainly worth it. I couldnt find a way to carry over my progress from free to full version so if you like what you see, i recommend switching to full version sooner than later.
