Dragonfly Japanese

Practise Japanese! This app targets the following beginners:

　・Those who are about to start learning Japanese ABC (i.e., Hiragana and Katakana).

　・Those who are aiming at the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test N5, N4 level.

Also, this app is designed to be able to learn real Japanese efficiently, even for beginners. For example, all Kanji in the example sentences have how to read. Additionally, this app has a dictionary, so you can effortlessly search by just touching the example sentences or choices of questions. Moreover, this app has plenty of example sentences that have voices by Japanese native speakers. So you can acquire standard and natural Japanese. In short, this app is easy to practise. Now, let's try it out.

The following methods are available for learning.

Kana table

In the Kana table, you can check the following items of Hiragana and Katakana:

　・Letterform

　・Stroke order

　・Pronunciation

　・Romanisation notation

The strokes are animated smoothly. The pronunciations are Japanese native speaker pronunciations.

Flashcards

Flashcards have words on the front and information such as meanings and example sentences on the back. You can check them repeatedly until you memorise them. This feature can also play pronunciation. Therefore you can use it not only for memorisation but also for repeating and dictation. Besides, you can select the flashcard to use by the card you do not memorise, the part of speech of the word, etc.

Practice

The form of questions for practice includes the following:

　Question of Hiragana / Katakana

　・Hiragana→Katakana

　・Hiragana→romanisation notation

　・Katakana→Hiragana

　・Katakana→romanisation notation

　・Romanisation notation→Hiragana

　・Romanisation notation→Katakana

　・Voice→Kana

　Question of words

　・Meaning question

　・Reading question

　・Orthography question

　・Filling question

　・Paraphrase and synonymous question

　・Usage question

Then most of the question choices change every time. Therefore, even if you try the same question repeatedly, you will not get bored. Then you will not be able to answer correctly every time if you do not memorise firmly. Besides, you can select questions by the question type, part of speech, the question of the not yet correct answer, etc.

Also, the following features are available to support learning.

Search feature

You can search for all word information, including example sentences. If you don't know the word in the example sentence or the question, you can search for it simply by touching the word without having to type. Also, if you know the pronunciation, you can check the corresponding Kanji.

Bookmark feature

You can bookmark the words or questions about which you care. Thereby you can check them later, or challenge them repeatedly.
