1. GENKI Vocab Cards is a digital vocabulary card app that enables users to learn approximately 1,200 words essential for beginners along with the native pronunciations at their own pace!
2. If you are using the 3rd edition of GENKI books, please purchase the app "GENKI Vocab for 3rd Ed".
3. NOTE: This is for the 2nd edition of GENKI.
4. This is the official app from GENKI: An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese, a best-selling series of Japanese learning materials boasting more than 1. 2 million copies sold. ◆Users can view the cards and listen to the recordings as they like, enabling them to study at their own pace. ◆By repeating a process of memorization and self-checking, learners can firmly master important beginning-level vocabulary. ◆Words already memorized are progressively removed from the card deck, so users can concentrate on just the words that challenge them, making for a more efficient approach to learning. ◇ “My Deck” allows users to view the cards over and over, so they can take their time learning. ・The words can be studied by working from English to Japanese, or vice-versa. ・Learners can listen to natural pronunciations by native speakers of Japanese. ・Fun illustrations help users to better retain the words studied. ・Each card also includes an example sentence with an English translation and a recording of its pronunciation. ◇ “Check” helps learners to track their mastery. ・Users check their understanding of the vocabulary studied and sort the words into those mastered and those not yet retained. ・Retention can be checked by going from English to Japanese, or vice-versa. ・The cards of words already mastered are taken out of the set, leaving behind just those that still need to be worked on. ◇ “List” displays a list of all words covered by the app so that users can see their progress and review the vocabulary. ・Checkmarks are automatically placed next to words that have been mastered. ・The word cards can be displayed from the list entries, enabling quick review. ・The list can be arranged in any of three orderings: lesson order, a-i-u-e-o order, and alphabetical order. ○This app is based on the vocabulary from the second edition of GENKI. ○It functions the same as the iPhone version of GENKI Vocab Cards. ○Ads: The app does not display any ads that might interfere with learning. ○Two more apps, GENKI Kanji Cards and GENKI Conjugation Cards, are to be released.
1. It's overpriced tho.Pros: Get all vocabulary in one place with audio and flash cards Cons: The UI is a little bulky and dated At 6 dollars, is quite expensive for a simple flashcard app Ultimately, I would still buy it simply because of the convenience.
2. Not worth the money when free applications have a better structure to learning and practice.It's a bit sad that it's "just flashcards" based on the book with no real benefit over physical flashcards except for always being able to access them on the phone.
3. Maybe the developers should look at other learning apps like Memrise, Duolingo or Drops, just to give them an idea of the possibilities a smartphome provides to assist you with learning vocabulary.Its literally just a premade list of words broken out by lesson.
4. However, it truly is overpriced.Not a great application for review, they aren't actual flash cards, just the word written on it and asks if you remember it or not.
5. Arigatou gozaimasu Genki Vocab Cards!This app is awesome! Before this i was using anki but i couldn't find a suitable deck that had audio.
6. Dictionary when viewed as English is alphabetized only by the first letter of the word, so you have to look for the word.Great for short daily vocab practice (which has been proven to be the best way to learn).
7. Audio examples of word on front of card and audio examples of simple sentences on the back of card.
8. Good simple kanji/hiragana/katakana sentence examples on the back of the card, where the rest of the sentence is at the learning level of the card.
9. There are two modes, review the list in the preset order, or take a quiz where you answer correctly once and the word is removed from your list unless you go in the options and manually readd it to the list.
10. It has English first or Japanese first, a practice and a test mode and a restore so you can test and learn.
11. Cards are grouped by the learning level of the text book.
