=[ HOW IT WORKS ]=
- Listen to a conversation: a list of phrases.
- After each repeat, any phrase has been seen enough will be replaced by a new phrase to learn.
- Best used as an intermediate practice tool.
- Combine with SCRIBE ORIGINS series to learn basic vocab and kanji.
StudyChat Japanese is designed for you as the intermediate-level traveller who wants to become familiar with phrases from different situations. If you already know the basics of the language and you want another tool to practice with, then this is for you.
StudyChat Japanese has been intentionally designed as a fun supplementation to existing study methods. There are many excellent resources for learning grammar and vocabulary. But there are few tools, aside from watching TV with subtitles, that simulate conversations for practicing what you have already learnt.
StudyChat Japanese also includes a bucketload of background and character styles, to keep your mind as interested as "study" possibly can be.

Ratings and Reviews
Its alright
Starting the app and I start on the tenses lesson, at first I wasn’t really sure what was going on as it would give the ability to select an answer but there was only one choice so it was impossible to get the answer wrong, later more multiple choices appear but this wasn’t obvious at the beginning.
When the other multiple choices appear the selections don’t make a lot of sense tbh as even with the vaguest of Japanese knowledge you can infer the correct answer… in tenses for example, it should really provide all selectable answers stating the same answer but in the various tenses and with you selecting the correct tense based on the English presented but that’s not the case here…. So as a result you don’t really absorb the actual content of the lesson… more often than not I’ll just look at the first word and hit the answer as the other possible answers are completely unrelated thus I’ve bypassed the point of the lesson. Not only that but some of the answers in this category don’t even relate to tenses at all but are just general vocab, “nice to meet you” and “later” and so on … sure useful for beginners but irrelevant to the lesson at hand.
Like the other reviewer stated, I also get the impression the conversations taking place are overly casual, in which case it might be a good idea to make that known in the app itself.
Formatting issues, possibly as a result of screen size but some words are split up in strange ways (even though there is plenty of room to display on one line) as well as the kana not appearing directly above the corresponding sentence can make it tricky to read.
Conversations themselves seem fun and I’m sure you could pick up some bits and bobs with this app but can’t help thinking it could be so much better 😢
Liked it..... but
As much as I loved this app for it's huge variety of situations and hilarity of flirty phrases I found there to be too many incorrectly spelt romaji phrases, which kind of made me lose trust in which text was correct and what wasn't for any new phrases I hadn't learnt yet.
That put me off actually using many of the phrases in person as I had learnt elsewhere from previous studies what certain words and phrases were but here were written as something else. I feel this app is a great tool overall but the romaji in-corrections were abit too blatant to pass on...
Although I have learnt quite a considerable amount of new Japanese words I didn't know prior to using this app which I can implement into my own sentences, so thank you for that at least. Visually I loved it, I liked how it had various locations and multiple character choices and animated background plus I must say a pretty inspirational menu soundtrack which made me want to learn more.
For the next update I think the romaji text should be fixed as what the speaker said on several occasions was not what was on screen.
Okay
Annoying that the text is only in kanji (though romaji is used, it's quite infrequent). If a person doesn't know all the kanji yet (which they won't if they're trying to learn from this app) it's very unhelpful to have the explanation boxes only tell you the words written in kanji. Other than that, it's an enjoyable way to practise.
