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.

I love this app so much, I even have a lifetime membership. But, the quizzes for the hiragana and katakana are complete BS. Not the lessons for each character, the quizzes at the end. Because I will draw a character one way in the lessons and it's FINE, but if I draw it the same way in the quiz, it's wrong, so I feel like you miss out a lot there, especially having to pay for it. I really wanted to learn how to write Japanese too, so beware.

The Good: Shibi is adorable and I love the trophies! Cute app, generally nice UI. Introduces kanji and grammar concepts much quicker than Duolingo. Pro version is reasonably priced and you get it for life. The Bad: Trophies are glitchy; ex: tells me I got the Alphabet Master trophy but won't let me claim it. Voice recognition has gotten better but can still be iffy. The Ugly: The Engrish!! PLEASE have a native English speaker proofread! Many translations are awkward or flat out wrong.

Decent app for learning Japanese, but know this. After the beginner and early lessons it becomes quite apparent that this app was not created by people with a firm grasp on English. Sometimes the English translations are bizarre or in the wrong tense. There are many typos in the explanation pages for words and phrases. All that said, You can still learn Japanese but I wouldn't rely on this app alone.
