Write It! Japanese Hack 4.1.5 + Redeem Codes

I’m a Japanese teacher facing the prospect of teaching Japanese 1 online this fall. I’ve spent a week on the App Store trying out every kana-teaching app that I could find. I’ve tried over 34 apps at this point! And to be perfectly honest, this is the ONLY app I’ve found that has what I’m looking for: It teaches how to WRITE kana while also teaching audio and visual recognition. The quizzes test both recognition (reading) and production (writing). There is audio reinforcement throughout both practices and tests. The home screen has a simple interface that shows progress at a glance. As a teacher, I can ask my students to show me screenshots of their quiz results or their home screen as evidence of their progress. The real important thing is that this app corrects students’ handwriting mistakes as they use it, which is something that I unfortunately can’t do in an asynchronous online learning environment. The app is fully free, unlike many of its competitors, although the paid version removes advertisements and unlocks a more robust “review” feature for users who have finished progressing through the hiragana and katakana chart the first time. I am so, so happy that this exists!!!

I love this app because I’m learning Japanese and it helps me to be able to learn how to write the letters and see the detail so I can memorize them and learn them even better, and it la completely free!?! WHAT?! I’ve downloaded so many apps to help me learn how to write Japanese and they all only let me take one small lesson and then I have to pay but this app is amazing, other than the adds which you barely get this app is amazing, it’s just that o have one thing, it’s kinda annoying when you write something and it corrects the lines, it can be frustrating and it kinda stops me from perfecting the lines when the app does it for me. But that’s all, it’s just kinda annoying, like auto correct . But other then that this app is AMAZINGGG

Love love love this app. Its interface is intuitive and easy. The writing tests are not too picky about matching the kana font perfectly, as in it leaves enough grace for handwriting/font variance when you’re obviously writing it correctly. REALLY good. My only critique I think is that I would prefer to not have to tap the bottom of the screen every time after I correctly write a kana during tests and reviews to move onto the next one. I would prefer it to automatically move on. However the way it is now is good for when you screw up so you can stare at it and redo it a couple times. Over all amazing and exactly what I want from a kana app.

It’s a very simple app useful for learning kana when you’re just starting out, the free version has ads but they’re not overbearing and don’t last long. Paying for it might be worth it to really speed up the recognition process as you get to study all the kana together in different orders, but considering how small learning the alphabet is in proportion to the language, and simple reading material you could find that’ll help you recognize kana faster as you read words, not just letters is why I didn’t pay for the full version. Nevertheless, it’s a great app I’ve found use of.

Some context: i was using Duolingo to try and learn hiragana, but theres a gate level where you (are highly recommended to) learn the characters for hiragana before continuing. It felt like it was going too fast and by the time it said i had almost completed a few characters, i still felt like i had learnt nothing and couldn’t even write them. This app helped with that though, plus there isn't a lot (currently) held behind a paywall so it doesn’t feel like you HAVE to pay to be able to use it. Doing better with memorization of the characters with the apps help. Only criticism is that on iPad, it turns the screen. Everything else is pretty good.

I have tried them all, and this one is my go-to. The auditory, visual, and touch combination is perfect for me and I’m learning much faster than I thought I would. It is very easy to navigate and well organized.

It functions very well as a free app, I appreciated that the ads were not at all intrusive. I decided to purchase anyway because I prefer it so much.

This app is set up well for optimal learning. I like that each lesson set includes the diacritical marks that go with each syllabary. Lends to a good sense of learning pace and takes the pressure off having to learn the diacritical marks separately.

I like the review option. It is easy to locate and there are options within it to control what you’re reviewing. When I discovered this, I realized I didn’t have to use a bunch of different apps to help me retain what I’ve already learned.

All in all, I highly recommend this app for learning hiragana and katakana.

I’ve been taking Japanese for about 6 months now, and at the beginning I was struggling to get a hang of the hiragana and katakana. It took forever to memorize the characters, and at that time the app I was using didn’t show me how to write the characters. This app honestly helped so much, I definitely recommend it for anyone learning hiragana/katakana, or just anyone who needs a refresh on writing characters. This app got me to the point that I could read and write hiragana and katakana characters without thinking about it. I highly recommend this for anyone learning Japanese!

I love this app, and highly recommend it to anyone who’s trying to learn Japanese, especially on a beginner level. But, I wish they accommodated for more advanced students, too. Such as, they only have Hiragana and Katakana writing practices. I would’ve loved some Kanji, since that’s what I struggle with most in writing (stroke order). At least some Grade 1/N5 Kanji would’ve been nice, since if you already know Hiragana and Katakana this is kind of just a refresh/stroke order type thing. (Which I still love). So, please add some beginner kanji, at least, and I will love this so much! Thank you!

This is THE BEST APP EVER like do i even need to explain it has everything that you need to know you can even take notes while your practicing your hiragana. It tells you if your wrong or not. When your doing your test it times you so that you see how much time you spent on it. It is really easy to use and getting to know it and study it. I really recommend they try doing an other app about if you want to learn korean or study it. Overall IT IS THE BEST APP EVER it needs an oscar for that.✨✨

This is overall a great app! It’s really easy to use and there are little to no adds! There are some things that U can add to make it even better though, the first being tips on how to remember the way you write it. When I started out, I struggled with the last part of the a (the twirly part) and the o. When someone fails it 3 times, there can be a pop up of tips to remember it. Idk if I’m picky on my way of learning Japanese, but you could also add reviews before tests (Ik there are practices). Sorry if I’m being picky tho. These aren’t exactly NEEDED but they can make ur app a lot better. 👍🏻
