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.

Yes, you can pet the dog.
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.
Jogo legal e divertido de jogar, ajuda a se familiarizar com palavras do idioma, parte visual é simples e bonitinha, talvez minha única reclamação fosse que podia ter mais mapas com mais palavras , ou um mapa um pouco maior
Un jeu très agréable et immersif, pour être allée au Japon régulièrement, le jeu reprend très bien cette atmosphère ! Ce serait sympa une version un peu plus grande avec des termes plus poussés ! Il y a quelques petits bugs par moment où une bonne réponse est comptabilisée comme fausse mais bon, l'idée est là !
A fun and simple game of learning Japanese through the power of photography and flash cards. You go around town learning vocabulary and phrases at a relaxed pace. It helps quite well with learning and the vibe this game has is very cosy, with the find and quiz mode acting as study sessions. My only gripe is how I feel like this game has less content than you would think it would have, but for educational purposes, its pretty solid to help with Japanese which is becoming more worth it to learn it over time.
生活中常见的简单词汇可以通过这款游戏轻松学习,缺点是太日常没有系统性的语法和更多的场景。
Якби була українська, то як то кажуть "ціни б не було", ну і я б згодився за окремі платні длс, але збільшити локацію, наприклад, той ж самий храм.
A simple and fun way to review words that'll be helpful on the streets of Japan!
Gosh, I need to play more of this. But it's worth me giving it a positive review. Great work went into this and I want to see more form the developer. Please and thank you!
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
