Kanji Sonomama Customer Reviews
2007-12-29 02:12:00
If you are considering purchasing one of the above DS games, it is generally a good idea to get feedback from those people who have already bought them games, that way you can tell if you are about to make a huge mistake or if you are about to stumble upon the 8th wonder of the world.Here are a ton of customer feedback for Kanji Sonomama:From Play-Asia:This dictionary has it all! English, Japanese kana and kanji dictionaries. It is actually like several dictionaries in one. Understanding kana symbols is a must, but vocabulary and kanji knowledge are optional! No writing practice or games, just reference. I suggest you buy it with Kageyama Method - Dennou Hanpuku: Tadashii Kanji Kaki to Rikun if you are not yet skilled in Kanji.From Play-Asia:Bought a ds lite just for this "game"Instead of an expensive mini translator with pen input I gambled on ds lite and it worth the bet.Highly recommended for learning japanese, however you must master english before since this is only japanese-en...

KanKen and Kageyama Method Japanese TV ads.
2007-12-07 21:47:00
Here are two ads that ran on Japanese television for the Kanji software. The first is for KanKen DS and show a drunk husband/boyfriend coming home and getting in trouble. They show Kanji to go along with the scene. Pretty funny actually. Even funnier if you don't speak Japanese! The second ad is for Kageyama Method and it just a couple of Japanese school kids breakdancing while they study their Kanji. It is also totally rad. Check them out below!

Here is just a quick compilation of how all the major online stores describe Zaidanhoujin Nippon Kanji Nouryoku Kentei Kounin: KanKen DS.PlayAsia Says: This "Game" is specially made for those Japanese and not-Japanese Persons Looking to take the Kanji Certification.Not entirelly a game (Only by the Mini Games all relating to Kanjis)but quite useful in studying, learning and preparing your self for the real Kanji Certification made, in foreignr countries at the Japanese Consulate or by a Kanji Certificate Organization in Japan. this Certification has several "kyu" or "grades" that depends on the difficulty level of the kanjis and their uses and this game seems to cover all "kyus", even the 1"kyu" or "grade" that is the most difficult one, and that could be interpeted as "fluent and proficient in Japanese" as Kanji is an important part of Japanese Written Language.Renchi Says: Zaidanhoujin Nippon Kanji Nouryoku Kentei Kounin: KanKen DsThe game includes over 25,000 problems from past o...

Here is just a quick compilation of how all the major online stores describe Kageyama Method - Denno Hanpuku Tadashii Kanji Kakitori-kun.PlayAsia Says: (customer review)I have tried quite a few of these programs, and this is the one i like best. all of the kanji are very clearly organized by their academic year, so you can learn them according to the japanese educational system. this takes you up through elementary education which means the first 1006 kanji or so.it is a very well organized and clear program. the handwriting recognition is quite good, and the emulation of brush strokes is really nice. the testing system is very good also. i think this software combined with kanji sonomama rakubiki jiten would be all you really need until you finish your study of elementary kanji. then perhaps it would be time to move on to the next level of the software, if there is one.YesAsia Says: Kageyama Method Correct Kanji Dictation (Japan Version)This game is compatible with any versions of ...
