"Before Id used the J Phrases app I wasnt too serious in learning Japanese. But the app and TheJapanShop.com in general has made it seem a lot easier and more fun than I thought it would be!"

2,700+ Japanese Phrases all with sound; hundreds of lessons; constant updates

"Regularly updated, large variety of ways to learn. Has to be one of the best Japanese apps out there" - user review

"This is a great way to learn conversational Japanese. Good for beginners and intermediates, kana and romaji, quizzes and flashcards. Perfect."
--DJ Izco

"I have tried most Japanese apps on the app store, and this is one of only two that I keep. This one offers vocab and lessons, the other I keep is a dictionary. Extremely useful with frequent updates. Highly recommended."
--a user in the U.K.

"Fantastic depth, so much to learn. Far better than those over priced apps that teach just one aspect. This is a really good and surprisingly comprehensive beginners course."

"Just started learning Japanese. Its a real help. Sensei approves as well."

Perfect for those just starting out with Japanese. Designed for those with little or no Japanese knowledge, this iPhone app has over 2,700 audio files of Japanese phrases recorded by a professional native voice actress. Many phrases have cultural notes to make this audio phrase ebook all the more useful.

The lesson section has HUNDREDS of pages on hiragana, katakana, grammar, and more. PLUS nearly every Japanese word found on the pages has a sound file that plays when tapped.

Although this will be helpful for those traveling in Japan, it isnt designed to be a travel phrasebook, but a conversation phrasebook. It is best for those who want to quickly learn conversational Japanese with correct pronunciation. The words and phrases encountered here are among the most used in everyday conversational Japanese.

Nothing can take the place of a good textbook and this is certainly not an attempt to do so. We highly recommend getting a textbook to keep your learning structured and regular.

A great way to learn vocabulary and grammar is to memorize phrases and to know when to use them. Listening and repeating the words and phrases will also help improve pronunciation and listening comprehension.

This Application includes:
* 2,700+ crystal clear audio recordings
* Voice recordings by a native speaker
* Hundreds of lesson articles all with sound for the Japanese
* Organized into logical and useful categories.
* Interactive multiple choice quizzes for every category
* Flashcard Function for all words and phrases
* Spaced Repetition - view words you dont know more often
* Random -- randomly display one of the 2,700 phrases or words
* Study Bank -- favorite any phrase to study or email to you later
* Settings: Turn on or off ROMAJI!
* Settings: Turn on or off Auto Play
* SEARCH -- now you can quickly find any word or phrase in the app
* Works even without a network connection (except for a few videos in the lessons)

PLEASE let us know if you have ANY suggestions to make this better. Feel free to email or call us with any questions or problems (please see support site for email and phone number).

Pros and cons of Learn Japanese with Phrases & Lessons app for iPhone and iPad

Learn Japanese with Phrases & Lessons app good for

Excellent application, learning Japanese this way seems so easy! Would like to see a tactile section where we can practise writing. Also in the quiz section, it would be nice to be able to select all the desired sections without others being automatically chosen.

User friendly, from basics to some advances, very very useful! I recommend.

Excellent App! I feel Im learning things faster than with a regular book. Id appreciate 2 new features: •Bookmarks for lessons, quizzes, etc. •Localization in other languages like german and spanish

This programm offers a broad variety of different choices to study Japanese. The app doesnt only offer a detailed background info about stroke order and on/kun readings, but also a lot info on grammar, each rule with an example to help you understand its use. I never found an app like this providing me with such good and detailed info about grammar. You can also add study cards already included in this app to a function called "Study Bank". There you can create your own list of words/sentences youd like to repeat. I like this to to keep track on certain kanji or lessons Id like to repeat or just keep an eye on. What I dont like are the kanji lessons though. In my eyes they are not as good as other apps to help you study kanji. Its just a list of all the Kanji with their translation and reading. The flashcards are better for this. TWhat I miss though, is the kana reading of a kanji when Im using study cards or flashcards.

This app is well worth the money. Very good content, well presented, professional audio, and even some grammar lessons. Must buy for beginners and intermediates.

This App. Amaze me it Offers alot variants but still it lacks Some quality well there Some Bugs like Katakana Quiz Start at sa to ta are all wrong place , also more kanji pronouncment and more sentence with Japanese Youth Slang would make this Programm better

Some bad moments

damn just buy it and the grammar traks keep crashing how come

Check out Mango Languages, it does tons of languages and is great at teaching. Best part is its free if you have a library card!
