6. Kanji Renshuu
Practice reading and writing kanji in the context of a collection of over 160,000 sample sentences. Simply tell the application what your JLPT level is, and which kanji you know and which kanji you are studying, and let the application do the rest.
The application will then pick words for you to practice based on the selected kanji and find sample sentences from it’s database of over 160,000 sentences that use those words.
The application features two modes of play. One for reading, where you fill in the missing furigana, and one for writing, where you draw in the missing kanji. In writing mode, your kanji will be graded using the unique grading algorithm from our popular Japanese My Way application.
Using a unique color-coding system, it’s easy to see what words are inside and outside of your JLPT level, as well as what words you know well, and what words you don’t.
The Leitner-based system will also make sure you see more of the words you get wrong, and less of the words you get right. In fact, when you get a word right five times in a row, it’ll turn it green in other sentences so you don’t have to fill it out again for some time. It will also make sure you don’t have to wait too long before seeing a word you got wrong again. Pretty smart!
A progress graph is always available to show you how well you know the words you are studying, and it gives you a percentage of completion so you always know how far you are from perfection.
The application can be purchased once and used on both iPad and iPhone. It even synchronizes your progress between devices using iCloud so you can go on the road with your iPhone and come back later and continue studying on your iPad.

✓ Master your accent with the Speech Studio. Simply record yourself saying a phrase and then hear your voice next to the teacher’s. Then try again. You’ll be AMAZED how quickly your foreign accent melts away.
✓ Nemo is not built around lessons at all. It is meant to be picked up throughout the day, whenever you have a few minutes to spare.
✓ NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE of Japanese is required.
Nemo targets the words and phrases most often used in conversation. For beginners, we’ve prepared “If You Only Learn 10 Things”, “If You Only Learn 50 Things”, and “If You Only Learn 100 Things” lists for a fast introduction to the essentials. Intermediate learners can progress to a course of the highest frequency words needed for travel and business and begin to have conversations in Japanese in a month. Advanced students will benefit most from the Speech Studio technology to correct their foreign accent.
With Nemo, you can customize flashcards to exercise the language skill you want to improve. When beginning a new topic, setup flashcards to practice translation of Japanese to English so you can build familiarity with new words. Next, switch to translate English to Japanese to train your recall and ability to speak. To complete mastery, switch to cards that specialize in fine-tuning your listening and perfecting your pronunciation.
Any card can be marked as a favorite, allowing you to make your own custom deck of cards to focus on the words of the day. Turn on Review Mode to recap what you practiced earlier in the day to boost your memory retention.
