Download Wakaru Ver. Beta







































My name is Tomoko and I'm a recently retired Japanese translator. Over the course of my career as a translator, I've put in lots of hours toiling away over English translations for Japanese clients, and now it's time to switch gears. My goal is to develop tools that make translating easier and more efficient. After all, translation isn't about just working your way through the text: it's about finding meaning and conveying what you find there with clarity and precision. This series of apps, "Wakaru Ver.", will help beginners get started on improving their language skill as well as those who have been studying quite some time but have gotten stuck or tired out from too much practice. Each app in this series is designed to focus on a certain area of improvement. For example, there's a deck of flash cards for the 101 most important grammar points and an app to help you learn vocabulary. Each of these apps is designed with a different purpose in mind: the tutor apps are meant to help you study with a sense of progress towards your goal, while the fun-app is all about having fun and increasing your motivation. In order to get better at writing, you have to write. In order to get better at listening, you have to listen. In order to get better at speaking, all it takes is practice. "Wakaru Ver. Beta" is the first step on your path to becoming a more polished, professional user.Entry #1: Waka No Fuujin (Lesson 1) First and foremost: this is a beta version that has not been fully tested. There will be bugs and issues and some parts of the app may not work as intended. This app will be updated based on user feedback, so please provide any constructive criticism you can offer here on the forums. I look forward to hearing from you!The purpose of "Wakaru Ver. Beta" is to give you useful tools so you can begin to learn Japanese more efficiently. First, let's talk about what these apps are and how they work. The first thing you'll notice is the user interface (UI): it has a special layout that I call "cards" with minimal text on each one. These cards were inspired by the "flash cards" that are used in study methods for languages like Spanish and French. The UI looks like this: These cards were made by highlighting the most common grammar points found in most language textbooks, and they're arranged in order of frequency, with the most frequent item first. You can flip through them like this: The key to language is learning how to put words and grammar together correctly. If you can combine what you already know with the things you just learned, then you're on your way to building sentences and creating your own unique expressions. "Wakaru Ver. Beta" focuses on doing just that: helping learners build sentences in a natural, intuitive way based on what they already know so they can progress beyond basic phrases and simple sentences and advance their skill levels.Entry #2: Fui-sho (Flash Cards) "Fui-sho" uses the same layout as "Wakaru Ver. eccc085e13
