About
Want to learn Japanese but don’t know where to start? Tried many learning methods, but none kept you motivated? Struggling to apply what you're learning in real life?
Wagotabi is a fun and immersive RPG adventure set in real Japan. Fully accessible to beginners, it focuses on teaching the most practical words and grammatical concepts first, in concrete situations: asking for directions, ordering a Bento, expressing your likes and dislikes, and much more! Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji are introduced progressively as you expand your vocabulary.
Wagotabi is the game we wish we had when we first started learning Japanese.

모바일로 플레이하다 스팀판도 구매했습니다. 솔직히 게임으로서 재미는 없습니다. 개인적으로는 이동속도와 대화 템포가 느린게 가장 큰 원인인 것 같습니다. 교육 목적으로 참고 하긴 했는데, 그 시간에 인강이나 서적으로 공부하는게 효율적입니다. 그래도 추천하는 이유는 일본어 학습용 게임 중에는 제법 괜찮기 때문입니다. 특히 단어 암기에서 효과를 나름 본 거 같습니다. 게임이 조금 더 스피디해졌으면 더욱 좋겠습니다.

This is a uniquely good language learning game, probably the only one I would recommend to absolutely everyone learning Japanese. I believe that the developers wanted to make something actually good, considering you can natively contact support within the game itself on the UI. I do not particularly like retro RPGs, and this one is genuinely good and I really do think this is the single best quality Japanese learning product on Steam. Not to say there aren't other good ones, but this game feels like a truly *quality* product.
Отличная игра, с которой учить японский действительно просто и увлекательно.
フラッシュカードがとても良くて、覚えるのが簡単です。日本語の勉強に最適なアプリです。
Muito bom. Vale apena o dinheiro gasto. Não recomendo para quem não sabe Hiragana ou Katakana. Mas é otimo e te ensina te divertindo e bem rápido
So far so fun! Always been a fan of Japan and it's culture so I'm glad someone was able to make a game for foreigners to be able to learn both the language and some of the culture. The lessons accumulate and build after one another to help the player learn it naturally. The pixel art is simple but cute and there are some tools to help with different disabilities if needed. Only complaint is that one of the mini games is too fast tho that might be a get good situation, lol.
I'm starting as I approach N5 from self study. I wish I had started this much earlier. As learning goes, it is great to combine with some other formal sources of study. As a game, it makes the learning of Japanese a lot more fun.
Благодаря этой игре я узнал не только много новых слов и кандзи, но еще и о замечательной японской рок-группе BAND-MAID, которая уже стала моим первым кумиром в мире музыки. Крайне рекомендую!!! Также советую практиковаться в написании символов кандзи с помощью графического планшета и пера — это одно удовольствие!!!
Au premier abord, c'est presque parfait. Le jeu est attrayant, les leçons sont bien faites, la dimension sonore est un énorme atout comparé aux livres, et bien d'autres choses... Et lorsqu'on arrive au bout de cette aventure incomplète (la 3ème préfecture) c'est une énorme frustration ! Je dois attendre combien de temps pour pouvoir refaire une petite heure d'apprentissage ? ... C'était tellement bien que je ne peux pas régresser vers un manuel archaïque. Je pense que les développeurs devraient réduire le temps qu'il passent sur des trucs lourds et très secondaires et se concentrer sur l'essentiel.
