Every photo flash-card you take will be unique to you. The idea behind this is to strengthen the relationship between a word and how you see its physical appearance. In the real world, you can then see such objects and make connections to the Japanese words you've already learned while playing Shashingo.

Your photo album is where you keep your collection of photo flash-cards. If you remember them well in Find Mode, they'll be separated into the 'mastered' tab and shown with a gold star sticker. However, if you're struggling to remember a word in Find Mode, they'll be marked with a purple exclamation mark sticker, so you know which words you need to practice more.
At the back of your photo album, there are also numerous pages of Japanese lessons designed for beginners that will teach you how to speak Japanese and use the vocabulary that you learn in Shashingo. Also included are some key words and important phrases that can help you in your future conversations.

Reviews
Not really a videogame and more so piece of highly interactive software, but I do like the 3D models.
Это хорошее исполнение задумки, которую следовало бы развивать дальше. Но игра не обновляется. Как я понял, в игре только одна локация, но проблема не только в этом. Сама задумка: запоминание слов через ассоциацию с реальным объектом - не работает. Нужна ассоциация с каким-то действием, или событием. Желательно в диалоге. Слово без контекста - мертво. Сейчас игра работает просто как ещё один источник для пополнения колоды, но кому нужна такая игра? Да ещё и с таким ценником.

Não espere que esse jogo vá te tornar fluente em japonês ou que vai conseguir aprender tudo só como ele. Shashingo é apenas uma ferramenta levemente divertida para poder para treinar o vocabulário básico. Se pretende pegar esse jogo com o intuito de aprender japonês unicamente por meio dele, não perca seu dinheiro e seu tempo, se quer praticar um pouco o vocabulário, ele pode ser útil e até mesmo divertido (e nem é a melhor ferramenta para isso).
日本語が学ぶためにすごくたのしい!
Haven't played a ton. Love the concept, but perhaps allow a setting where when the word first introduced it starts slower and as you gain ability, or prove you somewhat have learned the word it speeds up? Add a sound it out componet?
듀오링고가 더 재밌다
good
PRO + Schöne Umgebung + Soundtrack + Der Foto-Modus einfach und praktisch + Spielerisches lernen von Vokabeln, Kanji und Aussprache + in deutsch verfügbar CON - es gibt nur eine Map - keine Personen anwesend, eine leere Stadt (wirkt unwirklich) - es regnet viel zu oft - spiel ist ein bisschen teuer, dafür was es bietet Wünsche: - Einstellungen zu Wetter- und Tageszeit Funktion - 'Tipps' bei dem Begriff-Quiz - mehr Vokabeln - vielleicht Dialoge mit Stadtbewohnern?
I don't feel like I'm learning anything. There are better games out there that make you feel like you are learning, like Hiragana battle. Give this one a pass
i'm from russia and once i was in Japan. i really want to return and live in this country, but i can't. so when i'd play in this game first time, i cried due to how it looks like Tokyo
