Looking for the right application to can be a daunting experience. How can we tell which applications are better than others when they all seem so similar? When I studied Japanese in university I didn’t need to look outside of the classroom for guidance, but after graduating with a degree in Japanese in an English speaking country, I found myself struggling to retain everything I worked so hard to learn. There’s always room to grow in both vocabulary and confidence when learning a new language, and because of this I started testing various Japanese language apps to see what best suited my learning style. Five years — and many apps — later, I moved to Japan and realized I could read much more than my last visit three years prior. Much of this progress is owed to, while also expanding my vocabulary with real world examples. In this post — the first in a three-part series about learning Japanese on the go — I’ve included six applications that each have their own creative take on so you can focus less on the search and more on your path to fluency.
