About this app

LEARN LESS BUT LEARN EFFICIENTLY!


Just studying with HeyJapan for 1 hour and continuously for 2 months, you will see the difference!
>> Take 40 minutes every day to learn basic Japanese words, basic grammar, and phrases, and practice listening, speaking. Spend 20 minutes revising the entire lesson.
At the weekend, review all the basic words and phrases you learned during the week, and earn good badges from HeyJapan!
In particular, the application will remind you to study every day, and at the same time show you the secrets of learning Japanese effectively.

Learning the Japanese alphabet is the first step you need to take to conquer this interesting language.


The English writing system uses the Latin alphabet, while Japanese is hieroglyphic. Therefore, English speakers who start to learn Japanese are surprised and quickly lose their motivation to learn from the beginning. HeyJapan helps beginners to understand the basic Japanese alphabet.

👉Just Japanese
👉 Show Hiragana
👉 Romaji display
👉 Japanese word + hiragana

I think I know some japanese (3 level of the noryoku shiken). And I decided to do the app from the start, and probably will updating about each lesson. 1. へ --> it's true that it's a particle too, and when has the particle job, has the /e/ sound (like nEtflix), but it's an absurd teach this sound. へ it's a letter and has the sound of /he/ sound (like HElp) when use at words like snake (へび). 2. About the "which is the letter is write right?", it's deciding which is prettiest calligraphy.

Overall this a great app and I am happy with the price I paid (£20) for lifetime access. The app however has many bugs and odd quirks, I've occasionally completed an exercise but the app won't recognise it as competed and I have to take the lesson again. Some exercises require listening to a speaker, these can't be skipped and this makes it difficult to study when I'm outside in public.

By far my favourite app for learning Japanese. It goes straight into learning useful vocab and sentences which I love. I hate it when apps give you random vocab with no context because it's harder to remember & you don't learn any sentence structure alongside it. I wish there was some sort of revision tool? Like somewhere to go over past sentences and vocab. It'd be easier than going in each lesson. On my phone it's a bit buggy and freezes, but is totally fine on my tablet so idk if it's the app
