Studying Japanese? Get this now.

Ive studied Japanese seriously for 8 years out of the past 15. In college, while living there, occasionally when the mood struck me...and although I can speak well, Im still functionally illiterate. Anyone who knows Japanese knows that, without kanji, you really cant get the vocabulary necessary to really advance. So when I speak, it flows well, but Im trapped into sounding like an uneducated high school student. All this would have been different if I had had this app on an ipad so many years ago. Im sure Id be watching kurosawa films in the original and chuckling at the refined wordplay. Ok..probably not.

Whats amazing is that there is really no reason reason for me to study kanji right now - dont live there, job, career, relationship, travel. But here I am tracing out kanji and covering gaps that have plagued me for a long time. Keeps the brain fresh. Suddenly, Im enthusiastic about studying Kanji. Yeah..reread that one again.

While the help and explanation of features is still a work in progress, the developer responded to my question with a detailed answer within hours.

and lastly...2.99 for the ipad app. Ridiculous how much other language ipad apps - all languages, not just Japanese.

I think this is only the second app Ive been motivated to write about. I love studying kanji..anything or anyone that can make that happen deserves some recognition. Im looking forward to this only getting better.
