How we invented new ways to teach Japanese
I learned hiragana and katakana using the &quot;Kanji Study&quot; app by  Chase Colburn. On the google app store.<p>I don&#x27;t know the guy, but the app is simply amazing. Repetion, through fun methods, I learned hiragana as I rode the Tokyo metro and katakana too. (It also helped that everywhere was both Kanas)<p>Since we&#x27;re all talking about how we all picked up some Japanese, I thought I&#x27;d throw it out there. I normally never donate to apps, but this is one app that is amazingly well polished, has a beautiful UI and the UX makes me guility that I don&#x27;t sit down and do it daily.<p>Hell, thanks to it, I can transliterate japanese songs into kana and with the Kanji learning moudles I had fun translating last names into english and saying them. Nothing helped me more in making friends at random mixers or networking events then seeing someones Japanese name, properly addressing them and embarrassing myself by talking horrible Japanese.<p>But, Reading it, it&#x27;s amazing. The manga too, I can read all the manga now if it has nice usage of furigana. Hentai manga, does not, though.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.mindtwisted.kanjistudy&amp;hl=en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.mindtwiste...</a><p>Really, I don&#x27;t know the guy, the app is great and, without it my time in Japan would&#x27;ve been greatly not as quality. I made friends, thanks to this app, that I know I will know forever.
