Japanese study tools A list of projects & tools we magically willed into existence to help us all study the Japanese language together!


In my never-ending quest to learn the Japanese language, I've wanted to bring a little magic & wonder to the learning experience so that I, & people who share this journey, can be eager to continue the learning adventure with a renewable sense of excitement.

Check out these baller AF projects I am working on to help learn & study Japanese:

Sites & Apps

Kana-gories!

Notice:

This project (Kana-gories) will shut down by November 1, 2024. After that date, the link below may no longer be active or may be risky to visit. Proceed with caution!

Kana-gories! is a mini-game where you can practice Japanese vocabulary by being given prompts that start with specific kana or letters. You can play multiple rounds with your friends & learn from each other as you play.

This is most useful for you if:

  • You are at an intermediate or advanced level of Japanese.
    (There are later plans to update this to support beginners)
  • Playing with in-person groups or through a streaming service.

Right now, this project is in a simplified form. There are plans to update it to support different learning levels, as well as support better accessibility for people who use assistive technologies. Keep an eye out for updates!

Onkaado

Notice:

This project (Onkaado) will shut down by November 1, 2024. After that date, the link below may no longer be active or may be risky to visit. Proceed with caution!

Onkaado is a multiplayer card game currently in development to help people learn & study Japanese onomatopoeia. More about it will be revealed soon~

In the meantime, check out the website now & sign up to the mailing list if you want to be invited for private testing later!
