Description
Start learning Japanese from zero, for free, now!
Free version: All alphabets, 5 Mistakes = 1 Short Ad
Pro Version (OPTIONAL!!): Remove Ads and unlock even more practices
Hey there! Want to learn Japanese? MARU Japanese Kana, used by over 1 million learners around the world, is just the right tool for you. It's a small but mighty app I created to make Japanese alphabets less scary and more fun! I did such an awesome job that I wish MARU was around when I started learning Japanese. Seems like I'm not the only one, looking at all the fantastic reviews!
Jump right in and get the real Japanese vibe from a professional voice actress in a ton of exercises. There are 14 different fun practices that make learning Hiragana and Katakana as easy as pie. Reading, writing, listening, typing, and even boosting your vocab - it's all here. A perfect start to your Japanese adventure!
About those ads: only a teeny-tiny bit. You'll see an ad only after five mistakes. Since MARU was born in 2017, it's been downloaded over a million times, but I've hardly made any money with ads. No sweat, though! This is all about spreading the joy of learning Japanese!
What's inside:
• 105 Hiragana and Katakana characters, even the fancy sounds and combos.
• Over 300 everyday words (like ""hello"" and ""thank you"") for practice.
• Super clear voice recordings for all words and characters.
• MARU-kun, our adorable mascot, welcomes you every time you practice.
• A clever feature that spots your struggles and helps manage your progress.
• A fun way to practice Katakana with Hiragana words you already know.
It's totally free, but if you want to upgrade, here's what you get:
• A peaceful, ad-free experience.
• Practice offline, anytime, anywhere.
• Try your hand at writing and typing.
• Test yourself with timed exercises.
• Unlock even more words for time, date, and Katakana.
Here's one of my favorite reviews:
"This is MY #1 app for learning Japanese. I downloaded EVERY Japanese app I could find without paying a single dime. The app does exactly what it promises - nice graphics, great voice acting, and awesome practice methods. I'm in love with this awesome app!" - someone who's also very awesome
Wow! I can't believe you finished reading all this. You must be very interested by now. Just download and start learning already!
What’s New
Version 2.12
やっほー！May 2024 be the year to become so so good at Japanese! Your favorite Hiragana learning app just got even better (•u•):
• iPad Optimization: Hi my 12% iPad users, I finally spent some time to enlarge the font sizes for some areas in iPad. I also adjusted MARU's face a bit. Bye bye Fat MARU, hello Big MARU!
• Sound Optimization: Based on your feedback, I increased the volume of all the pronunciation files. Hopefully that makes them clearer!
• Detail View Optimization: I enlarged the Kana in the detail screen and added a cool scroll effect to make it prettier.
• Hide Romaji: Tap top right toggle again to hide romaji to review Kanas
• Dark Mode Fix: Fixed bug where sometimes borders disappear in practices when you first purchase Pro and switch to Dark Mode.
Ratings and Reviews
Ottima per ripassare
App ottima per mettere alla prova la propria conoscenza degli hiragana e dei katakana per chi è alle prime armi! App completamente gratuita ma ogni 5 errori la punizione è una pubblicità sopportabilissima di pochissimi secondi.
すごい (fantastico)!!!
Che dire, è un’app fantastica. Perfetta per far pratica quotidiana di hiragana e katakana, gli esercizi hanno diverse opzioni personalizzabili a seconda delle proprie esigenze (esempio: quanto frequentemente si voglia fare pratica di scrittura, definizione di una parola/carattere ecc… in un’esercitazione).
Interfaccia molto semplice e user friendly, la trovo molto かわいい (kawaii, carina).
Esiste anche l’app per iPad, ma trovo un po’ scomodo il fatto che non si sincronizzino i progressi tra dispositivi collegati allo stesso account (iPhone e iPad in questo caso).
La sto usando insieme ad altre app, libri e siti per imparare giapponese. In una settimana e poco più ho fatto abbastanza progressi da poter comprendere il significato di alcuni video in giapponese, sottotitolati, per principianti (quindi si parla di un livello N5).
Utilissima
App veramente utile per L apprendimento senza sforzo degli alfabeti giapponesi
Facilissimo l’utilizzo
