Wagotabi is a language learning application that has been developed in collaboration with over 300 Japanese language experts, official Japanese prefecture tourist associations, and thousands of early testers. It offers an immersive approach to learning Japanese, following a graded reader approach. The application introduces words and grammar points according to the JLPT standard, starting with the N5 level.
The game is designed to be beginner-friendly, meaning that no prior knowledge of Japanese is required to start using it. Concepts are introduced step by step and are immediately applied in the game. However, non-beginners can also benefit from the application and progress at a faster pace.
Wagotabi allows users to journey through Japan, exploring real cities and learning practical skills such as introducing oneself, ordering food, and asking for directions from locals. The application also offers the opportunity to collect new words, Kana, and Kanji, with detailed explanations on grammar patterns and conjugation. This eliminates the need for overwhelming lists of vocabulary and characters.
In addition to learning, Wagotabi also offers a fun and competitive aspect. Users can challenge Japanese Grand Masters in their castles to earn their respect, compete with fellow learners on Kana and Kanji minigames, and post their top scores on the leaderboard. The learning experience can also be personalized, with features such as a spaced repetition system (SRS) tool to pinpoint weaknesses, the ability to create an avatar, and adjust the game difficulty.
One of the unique features of Wagotabi is that it offers a fully ad-free experience without any in-app purchases. The game can also be played entirely offline, making it convenient for users to learn on the go.
The application currently offers over 320 carefully selected words and grammar points, 165 Kanji characters, 450 example sentences, 1700 voiced Japanese dialogues, and 300 unique NPCs in the game. All of these elements are used extensively and in context to aid in better retention of the language.
Wagotabi also values user privacy and has a privacy policy in place to protect personal information. The terms of service are also available for users to review. The application aims to be original and SEO-oriented, providing a unique and effective way to learn Japanese.
