Japanese Fun: J64

Japanese Fun: J64 teaches Japanese through step-by-step lessons, interactive exercises and mini-games. You begin with Hiragana and Katakana, then build everyday Japanese with vocabulary, sentence patterns and practical situations, at your own pace. It has 71 lessons, including 39 beyond kana, covering topics such as introductions, simple questions, shopping, describing your surroundings, daily routines and planning a trip.

Lessons and practice

New concepts come with explanations and examples before you practice them. Interactive questions provide feedback, and checkpoints let you return to material when needed. You can follow the lesson sequence or revisit topics that interest you.

Guided missions apply familiar language to situations such as meeting a classmate, shopping, finding things in a classroom, organizing a daily schedule and planning a trip. The game also includes themed vocabulary collections, a basic Kanji reference and review activities, and a drawing board for writing characters and checking your work.

Mini-games and review

Five mini-games offer different ways to practice: Kana Eater, Karaoke, Puzzles, Match 3 and Memory. They help you recognize characters and connect Hiragana, Katakana and Romaji. Teacher Simulator lets you take the teacher’s seat and help a virtual student learn.

You can review kana, Kanji, vocabulary and sentence questions to reinforce what you have learned and find topics to revisit. Text-to-speech audio lets you hear Japanese characters, words and lesson examples, using the Japanese voices available on your device.
