Hi there! My classmates and I are doing a linguistic survey on the use and understanding of japanese pronouns for people who learn japanese. It takes two minutes, please feel free to answer whatever your level is!! It's bilingual french/english. We would be very thankful if you can help is get more data :D
Hey Guys, still pretty early on dev on this app!
But please have a look and let me know what you think!
The key feature are "Swipe mode"(like Tinder but for Kanji)
and Kanji Battle (A sort of RPG way to learn Kanji)
*Hiragana Battle coming soon
*Original art is coming soon, but for now let me know if you have any feedback!
Hi! Quick summary: I‘ve been learning japanese for about 2 years now. For the past year I have been trying to make some japanese “friends“ or at least find someone who can help me with vocab, speaking and general daily conversations. I‘ve used apps like HelloTalk, Tandem, etc. but am always left ghosted (even by serious learners). Now I am wondering if there are some japanese people on here willing to help me. Maybe someone knows a place where I could look for some help. I‘ve already thought about paying for lessons on some sites, but I‘d like to save the money and find some kind souls to help me out. Most important to me is finding people that will reply and not also ghost me after some days. We don‘t have to become friends if you don‘t want to, I really just want reliable help and not having to message different people every second day or so.
I would rate my japanese level (in terms of grammar and understanding) at almost N4, though I am missing a lot of the N5 vocab (not knowing much vocab is my biggest problem).
In return for your help I can offer to help you with learning German or English.
Lastly I feel like I have to let you know that I am rather shy and would need some time to get comfortable around new people, so please have patience with me.
My current goal is to be able to hold simple, daily conversations around August, as I‘m in Japan for vacation. I believe that if I could hold conversations easier than now I‘d probably benefit from talking to locals as that would boost my language learning quite a bit, but that still requires some preparation in the next months. I just don‘t want to stutter or sound like a toddler with my simple speaking.
(I beg for forgivness for any typos as it is 00:09 atm.)
This app is designed for native speakers, but learners from beginner to advanced can still enjoy it.
There’s also a “deduction mode” where you guess words based on the theme.
Free on Android:

It's been a while since I promoted my app, and I'm now quite proud of what it has become, so here goes:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pablovidal.kanji
To keep it short and simple, the app works as follows:
- A kanji section, which I'm working on to include all the jōyō kanji. It comes with a word that uses the kanji, an example sentence, and TTS audio for the sentence. So basically, you select the word you want to learn, and it moves to the Flashcards, Tests, and Games sections.
- The Flashcards section works like any other. It has a read mode, with the Japanese word on the front, and a write mode, with the English translation + the hiragana spelling of the word at the front, so you write it in kanji (using paper and pencil) before checking the answer.
- In the Tests and Games sections, you can practice the following:
- The Tests section has two difficulty modes:
- The Tests section includes 4 types of tests:
- There are 4 games so far. Two of them focus on matching a Japanese word to its hiragana reading, and 2 include matching them to their English translation along with the hiragana reading.
- Vocab section. This is a bit tricky, and I've often wondered if I should keep it or remove it. This section starts empty, and as you mark words as known or move them to the Flashcards section, it gets populated with other words that contain the kanji you know or are learning. So, if you are learning "人" and "一", you get "一人", "一つ", and so on in this section.
- No paywall. All content is free and can be accessed at once, no levels or any other way to limit what you can learn. No login either.
- Ads. The app displays non-invasive banner ads. There is one full-screen ad per completed flashcard session. So, if you have 20 flashcards to review and you only review 19, that's no ad for today. The Games section shows an ad every now and then after you finish a game. I think this amount of ads isn't annoying, but if anyone wants to turn them off or support the app, it's only 1€ / month.
Just showing off the kanji Sudoku on the Pocket Japanese app! Its a fun way to practice numbers but also…
You can choose different kanji if you want to make it harder!
Hi all - lately I have been making a podcast where I speak in Japanese about a chosen topic for between 5-8 mins. I mainly talk about Beppu or Kyushu more broadly, given I am living here. It is purely meant for the improvement of my speaking; so much so that I am asking for people to listen to it and hear any mistakes or similar and let me know!
If you have any interest in Beppu, Kyushu, or even just having a gander. Please take a listen! I am doing my best! Thanks!

Bonjour ! Je suis un étudiant en master de sociolinguistique et je suis en train de constituer un mémoire de recherche sur les représentations sur la langue japonaise par des populations franco-françaises ayant un attrait pour la culture (populaire) japonaise.
Ainsi, si la culture japonaise vous intéresse ou que vous êtes curieux.se d'en apprendre un peu plus sur les représentations sur la langue japonaise en France, je vous invite à répondre à ce questionnaire : https://forms.gle/t3sUcxyNBmm2d9b76
Ceci m'aiderait grandement dans mon étude ! Alors je vous remercie par avance !!
HI, I've been ordering from Animate for 5 years now. I pay with paypal and I have them send it to my Blackship adress. On march 25 I payed for one of my orders just fine, with a paypal link as usual.
Now I got this message that sicne March 26 everything has to go through club animate. Ok, fine, so I've linked my accounts. But now I can't get by the screen that asks me to verify my identity through a text/sms.
I live in Belgium, and that used to work in the past, but these last few months I never had to do so. Of course, NOW I just don't get any text messages. I've tried resetting my phone number, I've emailed their customer support but they basically just told me it's not their problem.
This Saturday, I received the paypal link for my last order, and I can't pay them because I can't get passed the stupid txt screen. I've e-mailed about this, hoping the can let me pay in a different matter, but I have little hope they will listen. So now, they are probably going to cancel my order, as I have to pay by tomorrow.
Is their anything I can still try? And I've heard about things like 1001sms and the likes, but that will probably get my account banned and I don't want that.
