| | DS6449 Beautiful Kanji Training | Number in stock: 5 Weight: 200 g. Price: $58.00
Product type: NINTENDO DS
|   | | Another amazing concept for Nintendo DS, this is a new game that teaches you to write beautiful kanji characters in Japanese. To use it, put the cartridge in your Nintendo DS and boot the game, and turn your DS on its side like a book. There are four choices at the main menu: Writing Check (which tests your ability to write characters with the proper stroke order, with several options); Daily Beautiful Kanji Training, regular practice for writing more beautifully; Everyone Beautiful Kanji, a party game for 2-6 players in which a group of people can compete to write, with options for limiting the character level to third grade or sixth grade; and Beautiful Kanji Dictionary, which lets you write your own characters and get advice on how to make them more beautiful or teach you how kanji characters came to mean what they mean. The game is special because it acts just like a Japanese teacher, patiently correcting the characters you get wrong, fixing stroke order or circling in read points you need to notice. A really amazing tool for students of Japanese! About this software product: This is a standard Nintendo DS software cartridge made for the Japanese market. It is compatible with DS hardware (the original DS, DS Lite and the new DSi) from around the world. Note that the software itself and game manual are in Japanese. We recommend that you use this program with other study tools to learn the correct pronunciations for Japanese. Recommended for students with three years of previous study at least.

Product type: NINTENDO DS
| | | Thanks to personal computers and phones that can send email, many Japanese no longer write as much kanji as they used to, and it's easy even for them to forget. Here's a useful Nintendo DS learning program to help! The game features several sections, including a Simple Kanji Test you can take anywhere, practice with stroke order or writing with the stylus, an automatic "My Training" section, plus a kanji game. Start the game, enter your name and birthdate, and you're ready to test yourself against 2100+ everyday kanji. The game is smart, too: if you get a kanji wrong it will make you write it ten times to remember it. If you get stuck with a kanji, the answer button is always right there to help you.

Product type: Japanese Study Guide for Nintendo DS
| | | Carry a tutor in your pocket with My Japanese Coach
My Japanese Coach is an installment in the My Coach series from UbiSoft series that teaches the basic pronunciations unique to the Japanese language. This convenient and easy-to-use tutor allows users to compare their pronunciation to that of native speakers via the Nintendo DS's microphone. It also lets you use the DS stylus to practice writing Japanese Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji characters.
My Japanese Coach takes you on a virtual tour of Japan while you're learning the language. Lesson plans take place in a wide array of Japanese locations, from the densest of population centers like Tokyo, to the idyllic Japanese country side. You actually get to explore Japan while you learn new vocabulary as you open each point of interest. Learn From a Master
Meet Haruka, the in-game digital sensei, or teacher, that exists solely for the purpose of teaching you Japanese. After giving you a small placement-style test, Haruka will get you started working through the various stages of your lessons. Gaining mastery points by playing the various learning games allow you to clear each level. Once you master all the words given in a specific level, you move on to the next level.
As you work your way through over a 1,000 lessons, your language skills are constantly tested and sharpened by various mini games. My Japanese Coach includes 12 types of mini games, ranging from Flash Cards, in which you hear a word and have seconds to choose the correct English translation, to Bridge Builder, where you are required to string words together in the correct order to create a complete sentence. And with mini-games that add a clever twist to classic favorites--like Memory that forces you to match the same words in two different languages--you will be sure to have fun while you learn.
My Japanese Coach also features a built-in dictionary and phrase book that includes over 12,000 words and hundreds of useful everyday phrases.
