Ive owned HJ volume 1 since it was a computer software (and I was 12 years old.) I was on and off with it until my sophomore year of high school, when I finally finished it. I next bought the intermediate app and finished that up my junior year. Now Im 18 and hope to test out of 1 or 2 Japanese classes in my college, and its all thanks to these apps that I have the confidence and skills to do so.
Brian and the HJ team have put together the holy grail of modern Japanese learning. Nothing else can even come close to this app, and if there were an app like this for Chinese (or any other language) Id be having a much easier time in school right now!
Overall, I loved this app because it taught me every point of grammar necessary to carry on natural conversations while at the same time keeping me 100% interested and engaged with the beautiful and colorful cultural lessons and photography.
If I had one suggestion to every aspiring Japanese learner, it would be to not move on until you ace every quiz 100%. Trust me, youll retain everything better.
My only regret is that I wish I wouldve written a review sooner! I re-purchased the app on my phone just now because i had the iPad version. Well worth buying again, no complaints.
Thank you Human Japanese, for introducing me to my passion for language learning! The plans for my future would not have been the same without this program.
