I literally just got back to Canada after a two week vacation in Japan and was looking for a good way to start learning Japanese - I'm stoked to give this a try!
No offense, but I feel like you did that in the wrong order. Lol.
Agreed
Dude I remember when you posted (for the first time?) last year sometime, and I immediately got hooked into doing like 50 stars of Hiragana training. Every few weeks since then your website has just gotten better.
The categories for confusable symbols, the picking and counterpicking modes including multiple morae sometimes, the foreign sounds, the achievements.
I'm astonished at your speed, really nice work, thank you so much!
In your opinion, how useful was Claude in your development process? How did you use it in your process?
This is awesome
Is there much of an open source language learning community? There's afew languages I'm interested in learning and prefer open source
elon.io is great free language resource, not open source though which is a pity
That's an unfortunate name, though.
Awesome, congrats
Just wanna says a big thank you for you efforts, I am using this app on a daily basis to learn kana, it works wonders! Finally an open source alternative to Duolingo. In terms of feedback, I would love to see the option to practice specific kana, e.g て, ぬ, れ,す. instead of only "さ・し・す・せ・そ"
すごい!
Great stuff! I've been using it on and off since you posted about it a while back. It's so good.
頑張って!
Congrats.
I gave it a go just now and noticed an issue in the unit one vocab. You can get the prompt "to open" with both 開く and 開ける as options. Only one of these will be considered correct, and it's a coin toss which one.
Also I got achievements for mastering all (N5-N1) kanji with 80% accuracy when I ended the session.
Maybe they should change 開ける to "to open something)
Saving this to maybe remember later, looks cool and I know i should learn to read/write it but mostly ignoring that to learn to listen/speak first so this may help. This looks like it would be a huge help.
Have you got plans for any other languages at this point? I'm learning Spanish

I really like this app! Good job 😁 I've also been learning Japanese, and I feel like this is a good interface, especially for learning the Hiragana and Katakana.

Not trying to take the spotlight away or anything, but if you're looking for another source to learn, Renshuu.org (there's also an app) is also super helpful! There's paid options, but I think it's all for extra testing material and crossword puzzles or something.
The main problem with renshuu is I feel like the UI is very confusing, it's put off a lot of people when I've recommended it. Duolingo is an easy UI, but I feel like it does an awful job for teaching, it rarely explains anything
My procrastination self is hoping to get ahead and learn JP so I could read manga without waiting for scanlators so time to save this ~~and few days from now forget~~
Looks interesting, please explain what kana, vocab and kanji is in on the frontpage for newbies like me
If you can, you should add verb form/conjugation practice and/or something to help learn the functions of all the particles. I'm too committed to using anki for my vocab to switch to another tool at this point but I would love to find FOSS software that helps me with my grammer.
