If you're already familiar with Hiragana and Katakana and feel like you still mess up sometimes and want something to practice with. This is a good way to do it. I was feeling rusty on katakana so I grabbed this to do some drills and then went ahead and cleared out the hiragana sets as well. The one annoying thing was that everytime you beat a lesson/test it sends you back to the menu to select between school/home/whatever books you've bought instead of just bringing you back to the page you had been before. I do like that you can navigate without having to use your mouse for the most part though, makes it pretty quick to get back in. That said, there were definitely surprises when I went to check out what else was in the game. I bought the "Farm" book not knowing what it was then was surprised to be tossed into a challenge mode that included Kanji, it took a little bit to realize that I had to open the book while in the challenge to play "match the kanji" to what was being shown to me. Neat, but unexpected. I found myself thinking "I wish there was a study mode" a few times, but I think that's what no-pressure mode is. Overall, for a few dollars you're looking at a decent drilli…

A good Japanese learning game/software. I got it for free and I don’t know anything about Japanese language. Within an hour, I gained my basic knowledge about Japanese language and letters. The game is fairly challenging and will actually help you think harder, hence it will actually exercise your brain muscle about the language.
