すごい!! Excellent app to help with your Nihongo studies

I am really impressed with this app, if you are using an Iphone/Ipad and studying Japanese this is really a help. If you are using the Genki book series, this is a MUST HAVE app. Unless you are a savant at studying Japanese...and I know Im not...you know that one of the big hurdles of becoming proficient at Japanese is mastery of verb (and adjective) conjugation. I wish I had this app a year ago when I started with Genki, but even with a year into Genki Im already thrilled with the app.

Looks great on both iPhone (Im using the 6) and iPad. Hats off to the UX design group, its an easy to use app. Essentially following the verb/adjective conjugation order as presented in the Genki 1 and 2 texts, you have these main ways to use the app:

1) "Menu" option gives you two main ways to use flashcards. It also lets you create you own set of flashcards. This is huge IMHO. Ive used several other flashcard programs, and unless you manually edit the deck youre often stuck with the total collection of flashcards to study with. This app allows you to choose verbs/adjectives from each chapter. Choose one, choose many, choose all...its up to you.

Once you have selected your deck,you can either A) review it, or B) study it through a standard Question, you provide the answer. Each review card is well designed, has audio/example/rule description, and Kanji with furigana conjugated word.

2) Use an alphabetical LIST of the verbs/adjectives to study

3) Review the RULES of the conjugations

Other items of note:

Audio pronuciation, example sentences and translation, and you enter in your answers in Japanese! This last feature is great, they show you the easy way to add in a Japanese keyboard into your iphone/ipad (dead simple to do). You really should be using less and less Romajii, and this app helps you do this too.

As you can tell, Im very impressed with this app. Id also recommend the Genki Vocab and Kanji apps too. I could have saved myself lots of $$s when I started with Genki had I know about these three apps by The Japan Times. Im not associated with these apps, just a delighted student of Nihongo. Well done!
