Human Japanese

A paid app textbook. Patient notes. Not a speaking tutor and not a huge library.

BeginnerPaidModerateCourseTextbookiPhone, Android

Good fit if

  • Beginners who want explanations in an app
  • People who found Genki dry
  • Learners who will read chapters, not skim

Look elsewhere if

  • You need a free course
  • You already do Genki with a tutor
  • You wanted game-like lessons

Human Japanese is a paid beginner app that explains Japanese in long, plain notes.

Who it fits

It fits beginners who want a textbook voice on a phone.

Limits

It will not replace speaking practice. Irodori and Tae Kim are free if you do not want another paid course.
