so far it's okay, lots of ads on free, I really wish there wasn't a none of these option on the multichoice questions, you have to do lessons in order, subscription is cheap and will get rid of ads, but from what I can see it is a nice app and okay program. idk what the coins do, there isnt much to it that other apps don't do. the cute characters seem pointless so far just kinda cute background.

Hands down the best Japanese learning phone app out there by a large margin. As of this review it teaches beginner to intermediate Japanese, I hope they update more in the future! The only things I found needed improvement were: Sometimes it doesn't take text input correctly if you type too fast so typing 'no' could end up writing 'お'. Make sure you double check your sentence before you submit your answer! I would like a bit more variety in the sentences used when you learn new vocabulary

Duo lingo is great for learning vocabulary quickly, but is quite overbearing. KawaiiNihongo is much more friendly with its teaching speed, and does a phenomenal job of teaching grammar with the vocab. This app has helped me with realistic sentence building more than anything else I've tried. Just finished the last lesson today, and I'm really looking forward to the new ones.

Riko takes a break from learning Japanese and takes care of some bugs instead! She is sure you will enjoy learning Japanese even more and it makes the experience better for everyone.
