| DS3516 Kanji DS Dictionary |
Number in stock: 10 Weight: 200 g. Price: $58.00
Product type: NINTENDO DS
|
|
| Here's a fascinating way to use your Nintendo DS to learn Japanese more effectively: the Kanji Sonomama Dictionary, which turns any Nintendo DS into a very useful tool for learning Japanese. There are four dictionaries -- English-Japanese, Japanese-English, Kokugo (Japanese-Japanese, the best way to learn) and Kanji, with 240,000 entries at your fingertips. While you can input words with the optional on-screen keyboard, the best way to enter words is using the stylus, which can accurately read the kana, kanji and English letters you enter for speedy lookup. Input is done on the lower screen, while results appear on the top screen -- it's beautiful! There are many other features, too, such as pronunciation of English words, a "Jump" feature for looking up English words, several quiz functions, the ability to save words for later study, and more. About this software product: This is a standard Nintendo DS software cartridge made for the Japanese market. It is compatible with DS hardware (both the original DS as well as DS Lite) from around the world. Note that the software itself and game manual are in Japanese. We recommend that you use this program with other study tools to learn the correct pronunciations for Japanese. Recommended for students with one year of previous study at least. |

| DS6449 Beautiful Kanji Training |
Number in stock: 4 Weight: 200 g. Price: $55.00
Product type: NINTENDO DS
|
|
| Another amazing concept for Nintendo DS, this is a new game that teaches you to write beautiful kanji characters in Japanese. To use it, put the cartridge in your Nintendo DS and boot the game, and turn your DS on its side like a book. There are four choices at the main menu: Writing Check (which tests your ability to write characters with the proper stroke order, with several options); Daily Beautiful Kanji Training, regular practice for writing more beautifully; Everyone Beautiful Kanji, a party game for 2-6 players in which a group of people can compete to write, with options for limiting the character level to third grade or sixth grade; and Beautiful Kanji Dictionary, which lets you write your own characters and get advice on how to make them more beautiful or teach you how kanji characters came to mean what they mean. The game is special because it acts just like a Japanese teacher, patiently correcting the characters you get wrong, fixing stroke order or circling in read points you need to notice.A really amazing tool for students of Japanese!
