Updates in the Works for iPhone Apps to Teach you Japanese

Hey everyone!

We’ve got some significant updates in the works for two of our most popular iPhone Apps, Japanese 101: Numbers, and Japanese 101: Particles.

Currently with more than 140 exercises!

Covering BIG numbers in a "yen" context.

Both of these Apps take a listening-focused approach to drilling your particle usage and large number recognition skills. You can read more details about the Apps on the iTunes Store.

In addition to adding more content to both, we’re going to be adding a new fill-in-the-blank quiz format to the Numbers App.

(I’ll also add the fill-in-the-blank feature to the Particles App eventually if I can figure out how to deal with multiple particles being OK answers to a sentence… even if they would change the meaning… Oh the things I ponder…)

These apps include plenty of exercises, each with native Japanese audio, and Nihonjin-certified explanations. The Particles App is also perfect for sentence mining for your SRS, or simply for quizzing yourself while you’re on the go.

Take a peek if you haven’t already, and let me know what you think in the comments if you’re already using them!

Happy studying, and look forward to the updates!
