This application is amazing ! The interface is smooth and easy to understand and it's pleasant to learn new language in these conditions. But the application can be way more efficient and better than others application language application. It would be perfect if you add more writing exercises or new alphabet voice to have more exemple to follow.

Good.. although emphasis on symbols in the main scripts of the Japanese writing system should be improved.. We just dived in head first without a little briefing.

I love this app! It's easy and fast to use. I love the combination of vocabulary and grammar lessons :) I'm so thankful to you guys for creating this and over all: keep it free. 'Cause I've been looking for good apps to learn Japanese vocabulary, but all of them were paid:/ The only option left was Duolingo, but I don't like it. So thank you so much! Just a recommendation. It would be useful to add an option to have a Furigana reading for Kanji, 'cause I'd like to practice my reading in Kanna.
