What a fun and engaging learning app! Actually being able to have conversations in Japanese is helping me finally hit that next step in retention and thinking natively in the language. I've seen other reviews mention the paywall. I knew kana going in so I hit the moment fast. But I had so much fun that I signed up for the 7 day trial and from there subscribed. Great products aren't free to make. And this is a great product. The price is easily worth the admission. Give it a try!!!

i think this is an excellent interactive way to practice Japanese. my only gripe is that the option to turn off the background music doesnt seem to work and the music just continues to play loudly in the background despite the volume option clearly being at zero. the app also sometimes glitches and the mic button disappears, forcing me to exit out of my leason and erasing my progress. overall a really great app but could use better optimization as many other reviews have been saying.

had to change my review. you can't even play full chapters without paying. this is horrible because I already struggle with practicing, and with being forced to skip so much, it makes it virtually impossible for me to ACTUALLY LEARN anything at all. I understand you need money, but there's other ways of doing that rather than blocking or hurting a users learning experience. the way you teach Japanese is fun, yes, but it skips over so many basics so it's frustrating for me to do anything at all.
