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 contains:

* More than 500 pages of interactive content

* Animations of every hiragana and katakana character

* Over 1800 recordings of vocabulary words and phrases spoken by native speakers

* More than 800 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!

Human Japanese is amazing. The format is excellent, the lessons are well organized, the quizzes help solidify what the chapters went over and the interface is simply outstanding. My ONLY point of contention is that if you reset or change your phone (which sadly, I have done both six times in one year), you WILL have to start over--bookmarks, notes and all. Of course, it gives me the opportunity to start from the beginning and re-learn things, but it can become slightly frustrating. Try it out!

Great teaching style, I wish it had progress syncing. I used Duolingo for a year before a friend recommended Human Japanese, and the teaching style is miles better than the simple memorization without any explanation. I appreciate that lessons are broken up with different types of info so it doesn't feel like a "grind". I just wish there were a way to sync my progress across devices--that would bump this app up to five stars.

At first the price tag turned me off. But once I bought it and started using it, I quickly realized that this thing will help me greatly. The explanations are so thorough and they just make sense. The example sentences and chapter quizzes really help to make the grammar and vocab stick. Overall, I am incredibly happy with this app, and recommend it to anyone who is looking for another explanation of grammar points that just haven't seemed to make sense yet!
