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.

This game is actually super cool, theres so many features that supprised me that i wasnt expecting when i got it but where just really fun, like the text book for example, or the extra related words at the back of cards, also a tip, if there's specific words you wanna practice, add them to favourites, you can change it to quiz yourself on favourites only.
Very good for vocabulary training. Very cozy and relaxing experience while you brain starts to hurt with new informations.
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!

Great tool for learning common words in Japanese.
Quite a lovely game. Photography-wise it is a bit disappointing because when you get new photos of a specific thing (e.g. a cat (neko)), they replace the old ones, but otherwise the game is great. A wide variety of words to learn and a really pretty artstyle to it all.
Chill, como para ayudar al aprendizaje del idioma por otros medios, tómenlo como una ayuda activa para recodar palabras del día a día, no para querer salir aprendiendo a hablar ni mucho menos. Pero los gráficos son muy lindos, siempre se encuentran nuevas cosas para fotografiar, la forma de repaso es linda. Me gustaría si que se pudiera entrar a los negocios para practicar las palabras aplicadas a frases comunes.
Nice cute way to learn words and to practice your vocab!
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。
Sugoii desu !!!!!!!!!!
Le jeu est bien à de bonnes idées mais le prix steam est trop chère, le jeu gagnerait a nous laisser rentrer dans la station de métro, les konbini, les restaurant car ces lieux regorgent de vocabulaire utile qui sont malheureusement absent de ce jeu.
