For quite a while now I’ve been working with a developer on the Japancast iPhone app.  We just finished the alpha testing phase and are preparing to move into beta testing.

Here’s a little info to get you excited.

It will teach you to write hiragana, katakana and kanji using the proper stroke order.

You will learn to write by writing directly on the screen.

The free version will teach you ALL* hiragana and katakana – and will include some kanji.

The paid version will be VERY inexpensive.  I was tired of seeing great apps that cost a fortune.  We know most of our listeners are students living on a budget.  It will include a “pay as you go” model, so you only will buy what you want to learn and if you only want to learn hiragana and katakana, then you’ll pay nothing!

*note: the app is still in beta – we may decide not to include characters like ひゃ, ちゃ, みゅ, etc., since you’ll already be learning や, ゆ, etc., as full characters.
