GENKI Vocab for 3rd Ed. 1.2

GENKI Vocab for 3rd Ed. is a language learning app that allows users to learn over 1,200 essential words for beginners in elementary Japanese. Developed as the official iPhone app for the 3rd edition of GENKI: An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese, which has sold over 2 million copies worldwide, this app offers a flexible and efficient approach to vocabulary acquisition.

Advantages:

• Users have the freedom to view words and listen to recordings at their own pace, enabling personalized and self-directed study.
• The app facilitates effective memorization and self-checking through repetition, allowing learners to master fundamental vocabulary.
• As words are memorized, they are progressively removed from the study set, allowing users to focus on challenging words and optimize their learning process.

Study methods and functions:

This app offers three main modes: Study, Check, and List.

Study:

• Users can repeatedly view words, their meanings, and example sentences, providing ample time for thorough comprehension.
• All words and example sentences are accompanied by audio recordings featuring natural pronunciations from native Japanese speakers. (Please ensure your iPhone is set to Ring mode to hear the audio playback.)
• Fun illustrations are integrated to enhance retention of the studied words.
• Words of interest can be bookmarked for later reference. These bookmarked words are conveniently compiled in the "Bookmark" list within the app's "List" mode.

Check:

• This mode allows learners to assess their mastery of vocabulary.
• Users can test their understanding of the words and sort them into "mastered" and "not yet retained" categories.
• Words that have already been mastered are automatically removed from the study set, leaving only those that require further practice.

List:

• A comprehensive list of all words covered by the app is displayed in this mode, providing users with an overview of their progress and facilitating vocabulary review.
• The list can be sorted in three different orders: lesson order, a-i-u-e-o order (based on Japanese phonetic order), and alphabetical order.
• Words bookmarked during the Study mode are also included in the Bookmark list.
• Mastered words are indicated with checkmarks for easy identification.
• Quick review of word details from the Study mode is accessible directly from the list entries.

The app utilizes vocabulary from the third edition of GENKI and ensures a distraction-free learning experience by not displaying any ads that may interfere with studying.
