★★★★★Thanks
It works. Some of the sounds could use some improvement but overall great
★★☆☆☆Dr. Moku's Hiragana App is Better
Some katakana look extremely alike. Dr. Moku's Katakana app uses "stories" in an attempt to get you to remember which is which, and it fails horribly. The stories are ridiculous and the pictures used are unattractive.
A weakness of the Hiragana app is that its mnemonic pictures covered up the actual Japanese character, and it's WORSE in the Katakana app. Some of the characters are extremely hard to see.
Do not buy Dr. Moku's Katakana. The Hiragana app might actually help, some of the mnemonics
★★★★★Pretty effective!
I wa a little bit worried how I would keep the katakana straight in my head since a lot are very similar. I found the stories Dr. Moku used for the similar characters actually worked. I did a once over on all the katakana then did a quiz just to see how much I remembered. I scored 9/10 first time around. I am really enjoying these apps as they are helping me learn pretty quickly. I recommend them to anyone learning Japanese as this stuff will help you build a strong foundation. I like how it als
★★★★★Great App for Beginners!
Quickly learn カタカナ (katakana)! Works great as flash cards using the quiz options after you've gone through each character.
★★☆☆☆The Hiragana app works pretty well
But the Katana app is horrible in my opinion. Instwad of using nouns to memorize words, it has you use names. For example, "su" is drawn as a nurse named Sue. The katakana for "su" is very similar to "nu", and by using the word nurse, it could get confusing. The only way to remember is by remembering the arbitrary name "Sue" by looking at the symbol.
