Review #11 | Bunpo | Learn Japanese For Free

This week's review is for the Bunpo App. I would recommend it for higher levels of learner. It is a study tool I suppose. Only 3 lessons are free though, and for this reason I cannot recommened unless you like the style the app.

Note to reader; I have currently been changing over laptops as my old one died on me this week around Tuesday typically. I have managed to get re-setup but I am currently pretty busy due to the Laptop thing (see last post).

What

Bunpo is an app. The app helps you to study rudimentary to N1 Japanese using a flashcard type of format.

Where

Available through the App stores and online. Also known by other names, but the Fruity bunch will have to do their own research as I am a vegetables type of person.

Who

Bunpo content belongs to the Owners.

When

Available 24/7, but requires internet and only 3 lessons available.

Why

I do not actually recommened this app, unless you like paying money for aesthetics. The app is also pretty poor in its ability to use the proper grammatical terms, so even in basic, stuff that is obviously a subject, becomes a 'topic', particles become 'topic markers', but the term 'noun' will be used. This clearly confusing and probably disjointedly makes you heavily disadvantaged when learning by yourself. Nouns in particular are highly subjective in English usage compared to other languages, so as a linguist, this is pretty disappointing as it is obvious the app develop doesnt seem to care whether or no you understand what a common noun and a possessive noun tell us about the language we are using. Which is the entire point of learning a language for most people. To understand what is being described or discussed.
