Buy Shashingo: Learn Japanese With Photography PC key

Shashingo: Learn Japanese With Photography is a language-learning game set on bright, fictional Japanese streets. You explore the streets and photograph objects; each photo becomes a flash-card that shows the subject’s name in Japanese and English. The game uses the connection between a word and the object’s appearance to help you learn vocabulary for recognizing those objects in the real world.

Explore and photograph

The game has a stylised 3D environment and an in-game photography system. A day-and-night and weather cycle changes the streets as you explore. Japanese audio accompanies the experience, with a lo-fi soundtrack.

Review your flash-cards

Your photo album stores the flash-cards you make. In Find Mode, cards you remember well move to the “mastered” tab and receive a gold star sticker; words you struggle to recall are marked with a purple exclamation mark so you can see what to practise.

Study Japanese

The album also contains beginner lessons on speaking Japanese and using the vocabulary you learn in the game, along with key words and useful phrases for future conversations. You can display Japanese using romaji, kana, furigana or kanji. Game modes test your memory.
