I would like to try it and have one of these free copy. Why? I will put a link on my blog under the page : 日本語の勉強 and it could be a good publicity for the software designer. How about this suggestion!

My reason probably would be the most simple one, it is just because I want to learn Japanese very well.

On May 5, (yes celebrated Boy's Day and Cinco de Mayo all in one day) I just got married to a beautiful Japanese national. We had set different goals of what we want in life. One of those is I have to learn Japanese. So I get her objective target to master Japanese in 5 years. I had purchased many Genki 1 textbook, manga, and a bunch of helpful apps for my iphone. It has been 3 months and I can read Hiragana and Katakana. I also have memorized at least 40 Kanji. My only problem is the vocabulary part of my self-study. This week I will focus on learning 20 -30 Japanese words a week. Once I can attain a command of what I want to say and response to questions, then I will have the biggest smile. This will be a lifelong commitment that will never get off its track, a commitment of making new Japanese friends. And to look back and say, "wow! I can understand and communicate in Japanese.!" Aloha from Hawaii...

Hello,

Is this thing still going on? Anyways 毎週テレビで日本のドラマを見ているうちに、日本語に興味を持つようになった。I just found out about this site yesterday and I think it's awesome。 I think I should get a copy of this software because I only started learning Japanese 3 weeks ago which means I need a lot of help :D Furthermore， I am learning it all by myself and I try to learn at least 1 hour of japanese everyday。 Right now I can pick up some words and phrases in Japanese dramas but if I want to understand more I'll have to get a copy of this software！so PLZ PLZ PLZ pick me PLZ

FYI: There's still one copy left so don't be ashamed and try to come up with something cool to impress Koichi (and me ^^).

Hint: As you've probably noticed, although we like text, we also LOVE all kinds of pictures—whether they are static or moving at 24fps—and we definitely don't mind witty blog posts or any other creative ideas ;)

I don't know if there's a limit to the number of winners [Edit yep, only five can win, hope I still have a chance tho], but I've always been part of tofugu contests, and even though I never win, I'll still feel compelled to participate heh.

Next week, I'm graduating from high school (yipee!, finally) and I'll be starting my first year at university on east Asian studies and also it'll be my first year learning Japanese (at university as well)

This is a big step for me since I've been looking forward to this for as long as I can remember...I mean, I don't know how I started loving Japanese media and blogs like Tofugu, but I know for sure that I won't be giving it up that easily. I will be using a lot of the tools you've discussed on your site (which have helped me more than any online tutor I've ever had) and hopefully make my way into the Japanese language, the proper way, once and for all!

Well, there it is. It's not as witty or needy as those who have already won, but I hope that the fact that I'm gonna be studying the language at university helps me get this sexy prize lol.

Either way, I'll still be reading Tofugu, and I'll still participate in every contest until koichi morphs into Godzilla one day and is unable to use his fingers to type on his mac...

I will be living in Japan starting July 25th and teaching at 2 junior high schools in Shikoku, Kagawa-ken, Muragame-shi. My initial contract is only for a year, but I imagine I will stay longer -- really depends on how well I am able to integrate with the existing staff (also, this is the JET program for all those who mentioned wanting to get to Japan; all you need is a college degree and the ability to speak the English language -- of course there are interviews etc. but those are the basic requirements). I am trying to get back what Japanese skills I have lost, and develop new ones that far exceed what I had already learned, and I think a nice study program like this would be a good way to reinforce reading and writing skills. And my kanji is somewhat, shall we say, ちょっと. Anyway, that is why I would like a copy of this program.

I've been attempting to learn Japanese for a while now —though I only just started doing it seriously— and my recognition skills are horribly slow, especially katakana. I can remember all the characters but it just takes too much time to recall. Smart.fm's Brain Speed helped but seeing the answer right in front of me mean I could get it though I didn't actually “know”. I tried out NihongoUp and it seems to work much better to this purpose, even going as far as incorporate it into a really cool game-esque style. I think I should get a copy because it will really help in my self-study of Japanese and get it to the level I want it to be.

I am also a Apple fanboy, albeit without a Mac but as a more fortunate Apple fanboy, it is your duty to provide for you less fortunate brethren who didn't get SIX *hint *hint free copies.

Ok, now I'm sure that there a lot of people begging for this program. Now if anyone's being chased by Godzilla or those god awful zombies, and they need it to survive their predicament, of course they deserve it. Although I'm not in either situation, or in any extreme dire need (but there is a dire need). am learning Japanese at the highschool level, and my friends and I have started doing this annual competition that involves a lot of Katakana and Kanji (not exactly my friends' strong-point). I do plan on going to Japan, I actually want to teach Japanese when I'm older, but I'd like to get this program to help my friends now (I'll be living my teaching dream early for a short period). I just want you to know (even though I'm probably to late) I am still not being chased by godzilla, or rabid bunnies for the matter, but I feel that I definitely need this.

I first thought of porting it to the iPhone myself but as I'm not a Cocoa developer it would most probably take me too long and so I'm currently trying to find someone more experienced in this area who could convert it for me. Keep an eye on my Japanese Language and Culture Blog in order to try the iPhone version when released :)

Wow, what a creative bunch of readers, I'm truly impressed.

If you are thinking of getting one for yourself and you need a second opinion please check out the review I did of Nihongoup last month.

Grab yourself a trial version, you won't be disappointed.

Re: Practice Kana, Kanji, and Particles with Nihongoup

Melissa_K — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 04:07:48 -0000

Got the trial version and it is AWESOME. Well, the kanji and particle part that is. The katakana and hiragana part get boring if you know them all already.

WOW! まじやばい！This is really cool... nice work! Could I feature it on the Nihongoup Blog? (http://nihongoup.com/blog/)

I'll send you a free serial as soon as possible ^^
