Game Description

Say "konnichiwa" to a new language! With My Japanese Coach, you'll learn the basics of Japanese speech and writing, plus helpful information for first-time visitors to the country. The engaging, entertaining lessons take place in interesting Japanese locations, ranging from downtown Tokyo to the idyllic countryside. What's more, each place helps you expand your vocabulary.

Twelve mini-games reinforce the lessons, while a built-in Japanese dictionary and phrase book holds more than 12,000 words and hundreds of useful sayings.
