PSP kanji v2.2 Alhpa, by Aion - Image 1 PSP kanji v2.2 Alhpa, by Aion - Image 2


Looks like we've got an appropriate partner for the JaPSPanese app that was released earlier. Aion dropped by earlier to announce that a new build of the PSP Kanji application is ready for use. This application is a training tool for helping you learn Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana. Users can create lists of each of these Japanese characters, which are then used for practicing their pronunciation and English translation.

PSP Kanji's version 2.2 Alpha carries these latest fixes from version 2.1 back in March:
  • Changed
    • Increased maximum number of kanjis in a list, from 1024 to 4096
  • Added
    • Kanji List now support index from "Remembering the Kanji" by James W. Heisig (DL + Index ). See online documention for how to create kanji list.
  • Fix
    • Request - 1693256: When selecting any of the Katakana quizzes from the menu, the Hiragana quizzes display instead
    • Request - 1762989 / 1742852: When selecting the Quiz from traduction to Kanji, after the 1st question the quiz display the kanji instead of translation as question
    • Request - 1762967: When an entry in KanjiDic does not have any kunyomi readings the program will display kunyomi from another kanji
Make sure to view the readme file for full installation and usage instructions. Aion's apparently still working on the Linux version of PSP Kanji, in case you guys were wondering. We'll get back to you if any new builds turn up. For the moment, enjoy your download!

 » this is great

I'm gonna give it a try, but Japanese is too hard to learn from a PSP. I'm pretty sure you need a proper teacher to learn correctly.

 » I agree

I took Japanese language courses myself, and the language is pretty tough to learn.

Apps like these make the learning process more fun, but you'll still need the guidance of a proper sensei to make serious progress.

"..but you'll still need the guidance of a proper sensei to make serious progress."

Well, we can start with the subtlety of the title "sensei." It isn't always synonymous with "teacher. Someone can be a sensei -- very learned and accomplished in what they do, but not teach. If you mean teacher, say teacher.

 » Regarding sensei...

Hmm, as you can see, I've got a lot to learn with regards to Japanese XD.

Thanks for the clarification.

 » Maybe, but then this isn't meant to replace

This clearly isn't meant to replace a teacher but rather to help with the study of Kanji when your out and have some free time rather then having to pull out a book and use that for casual review.

 » Great timing!

Between this and JaPSPanese, we PSP users are set to practice up on our Japanese! :)

This already has JaPSPanese's stuff in it. Has had it for a while now.

 » Ah yeah!

To heck with JaPSPanese, this is a way better program with a smoother interface and considerably more useful.

I'm glad to see an update for this and hope there are more versions to come.
