Hey Anna! I am a Japanese student and have a few useful apps you can try. For your info, I have an Android phone, so if you have an iPhone these might not all work for you: --Human Japanese: Great little app which teaches some basic grammar and vocab, quizzes you, and provides a good introduction to really basic Japanese grammar. This is a great place to start if you are just beginning. It will teach you the hiragana and katakana as well before moving on to some basic kanji. -Dr. Moku Hiragana and Katakana: This app helped me master the basic hiragana and katakana. Great mnemonics and you can quiz yourself on drawing the characters which helps them stick much more than simply looking at them. --Wanikani: Go to the website first and create an account. Once done you can activate the app on your phone or use the computer to do your lessons. Just search for Wanikani and it should be one of the first sites that pops up. This is a great site for learning how to read and recognize Kanji. Make sure you know the Hiragana and Katakana pretty well before starting because you will need them to progress in Wanikani. Be patient. It starts off a bit slow, but once you get going it is a great tool to enhance your ability to read Japanese. Just keep in mind it will not teach you grammar, so to truly read well you will need another source to learn your grammar and conjugations. -Memrise: Good free app with lots of user-made classes depending on what you want to learn. I recommend once you start, choose one of the user made classes to learn some vocab. They are better than the standard one provided when you first download the app. They also have a website with a bit more functionality, but the app is a good tool when on the go. These are a few good places to start. Hope this helps. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a message! Japanese is hard, but it is worth it if you are willing to put in the effort! Good Luck!
