Although the Western calendar is used in Japan, years are also given according to the Japanese era. So, 2019 is the same as Reiwa 1. As you might imagine, there has been a flurry of activity as calendar makers and others prepared for the new era. Human Japanese. Meet your personal sensei-in-a-box. Human Japanese presents the Japanese language from square one in a warm, engaging tone. Going much deeper than the canned phrases and vocab of other apps, it approaches the language in an integrated way, with discussion, recordings, animations, illustrations, photos, reviews, and more.
This app is only available on the App Store for iOS devices.

Description
Welcome aboard your rocket ship to the next level of Japanese.
Human Japanese Intermediate is packed with content and features that will take your Japanese language skills to the next level. If you liked the first HJ, you'll love Intermediate. (And if you're new to Human Japanese, welcome aboard! Find a full list of content by chapter at www.humanjapanese.com/intermediate.)
In Human Japanese Intermediate, you'll find:
- More than 40 illuminating chapters
- Over 2600 example sentences and dialogs with crystal-clear recordings of male and female speech
- Kanji animations, tips, illustrations, and more
- Photos and cultural notes to keep you engaged and energized
- Intelligent quizzes that track your history and help you focus on trouble spots
- INGREDIENTS™ example sentence breakdowns for total clarity in every example
Like its predecessor, Human Japanese Intermediate is built on the idea that the best way to learn and truly comprehend Japanese is to have it explained by someone who speaks your language. Core concepts are explained in a friendly, down-to-earth tone, with frequent comparisons to similar aspects of English. With humor and warmth, it demystifies and illuminates the real nuts-and-bolts of the language--not just vocabulary and canned phrases like many other products.
Explanations come alive with deeply interwoven interactive example sentences--more than 2600 in total--so that you can immediately see and hear exactly what you're learning.
Stay on track with an exciting new patent-pending feature called INGREDIENTS™ example sentence breakdowns. Next to every sentence is an icon that provides an instantaneous, simultaneous lookup of every word in the sentence, even conjugated forms! That means you'll never lose your flow in the middle of an interesting discussion just because you've momentarily forgotten the meaning of a word.
KANJI
Human Japanese Intermediate also gets into kanji in a big way. At the end of most chapters, a new batch of kanji is introduced, with animations of each character, plus example sentences, illustrations, writing tips, and more. Our goal is not to simply throw a bag of characters in your lap, but to carefully explain how everything works.
To this end, Human Japanese Intermediate keeps track of which kanji you've learned at what point in the text and automatically adjusts the 'spelling' of words in example sentences as appropriate to your current knowledge. So early on, you might encounter the following sentence:
そのひとの なまえを しらない。
But later, after you've met several of kanji used in these words, the version you would see is:
その人の 名前を 知らない。
This approach removes the most overwhelming aspect of learning kanji--the fact that most sentences contain many characters you don't yet know--and that helps you to stay focused and energized.
QUIZZES
Stay sharp with five different kinds of quizzes: chapter reviews, vocab, conjugation, kanji stroke order, and kanji flashcard.
Quizzes keep track of which questions you get right and wrong, to help you concentrate on your trouble spots.
And when you get a question wrong, it's not simply 'Try again.' Wherever possible, the quiz provides a hint that is specific to that question, to help you remember and learn.
PHOTOS AND CULTURAL NOTES
We've packed Human Japanese with hundreds of photos, illustrations, and cultural asides to keep you interested and energized. You'll find tours of hotels, train stations, convenience stores, supermarkets, kissaten (coffee shops), temples, and more.

Ratings and Reviews
None better!
This is my favorite and most-used app. I don't mean for Japanese, but in general!
I've spent countless hours studying with it. Japanese is such a different, complex language, and I've been an adult longer than I was a minor, so studying is not a skill I'm used to. But Human Japanese Intermediate is so intuitive. It's got voiceover, interactive quizzes, animations. That makes it the most complete language lesson this side of actual classes (plus it's much cheaper!).
Sure, you could get a chintzy app that just gives you some vocab and phrases; but HJ Intermediate taught me the right way: How to read, write, and truly understand Japanese. Even as I've completed it months ago, I still use it and will continue to do so as I further my Japanese studies.
Easiest and most intuitive approach to learning Japanese!
I have purchased both Human Japanese Beginner and Human Japanese Intermediate several times for different systems (iPad, PC, Mac) and I love it! I have completed HJ Beginner several times to deepen my understanding, but was speaking, reading, and writing it throughout the first time. I am now on HJ Intermediate and everything just got better. Same great way to learn, but even more efficient! Thanks for creating such a helpful app!
Great app
It has been a few years since I took Japanese classes at my university, and it seems like everything I ever learned has left me! This app is wonderful; the layout, lesson plans, and progression are so logical, and make learning fun and exciting. I feel like my lost knowledge is coming back! I would definitely recommend this app to anyone who wants to study and learn Japanese.
