Japanese-katakana

It’s a fun useful app, but having at least basic knowledge of katakana/hiragana is an absolute must otherwise you’ll be lost. Definitely worth a download.

I was so confused when i learnt Japanese for the first time. I thought it was hard to write the letters. But then I found this app and this changed my mind. Now writing Japanese becomes so easier! The step-by-step explanation is what I love from this app. But it would be much better if there is an explanation in English--because I am a beginner and can't understand what it says in Japanese.

It was annoying and I couldn't focus from the sounds

Love this and the hiragana app! My child always asks to play it...and has started applying it to read Japanese story books. Would love to see expanded vocabulary in future versions and perhaps katakana words which are actually used in Japan. Instead of akachan, maybe use appurupai,(Apple pie) kohi (coffee) miruku (milk) keiki (cake) etc. so the learner can actually apply the katakana to real-world experiences.

The whole purpose of this app is to give you practice with the Japanese alphabet in katakana. Just like in english you have to know your alphabets. If you want to know symbols go study the Chinese kanji for words since that's where most of the words that don't fit with hiragana or the katakana come from.
