Pros and cons of Japanese Language Guide & Audio - World Nomads app for iPhone and iPad
Japanese Language Guide & Audio - World Nomads app good for
You should add more words. Its a good appli but a bit incomplete. Nice work
This app works well with many categories. But I would like to know congugation, if there are.
I would like to say thank you for your time for making this application eventhough is a basic lession is was free, please add more words to my vocabulary.
Pretty kewl just add more words and phrases!! I will also have to agree with the poster about a rewind button or a way to slow it down, for the longer phrases. Other than that I like it! Please add some African languages!!
The romanization is a bit off, and I wish it had more phrases/words, but I love it otherwise! Id like an update or a paid version!
Thank you for this app its soo nice and useful but I wish you add more things to say very soon :) Thak you = شكراً
Some bad moments
Phrases are very limited and they used the WRONG Romanji. (yes, there is no r sound in Japanese and in fact is pronouced as l sound, but replacing r with l is just plain WRONG. please fix that and add more useful phrases. Would be nice to hear pronouciation as well. Anyways, not good nor useful. Sorry.
Romaji is not good. There should be no letter L. Seems spelled out for English speakers, but this will throw off the pronunciation too much. May be okay for a quick reference if you have zero Japanese language skill, but do not use for learning the language.
Phrases in roman letters dont match whats written in Japanese. Horrible quality checking. Feels mass-produced.
I do not recommend this app, because for many phrases, romaji does not fit the phrase in kanji/kana at all! In most cases, the romaji version is the shortest and the most simple one, but not always (e.g., no - kekko des - いいえ).
I dont know what the authors intention was, but thats just weird and makes no sense.
I enjoyed the one included lesson. Very very basic without a way to control the sound (like rewind or fast forward). Nice try but not very useful (I am in japan now and this wont help with much).
Not good. Terrible Anglicization of text. Audio portion with no clear lessons, nor any apparent organizational structure.
