Ooo!! I'm definitely looking forwards to everything you're hopefully going to be putting out in the near future! Stay healthy!

Daichi

I really appreciate the updates, keep them coming.

Michael

The new update for Rikaichamp is awesome! This will make my pitch accent studies so much easier, having to look up every single word on another page has always been kind of a pain. Definitely also gonna check out the Ganbatte Shadowing app. Thanks for the suggestions and stay healthy!

Hi Dogen! I just found out that the NHK accent dictionary is now available on an iOS app with recordings for every word by announcers! https://news.nhk-book.co.jp/archives/10093 I checked and it’s available for purchase in the app in the US that’s half the price as the print version. Sorry if you already know about this!

Dear Dogen, thanks a lot for your message! I created a quick review of the app Ganbatte Shadowing because I really like it and made a lot of progress using it. I find that the intermediate part is the best and there is enough material for the app to last more than a year. But I have been trying to use it recently and cannot access the pitch part any more! Has anyone else tried it recently? Best wishes,

Michael Rowell

Yomichan is a very similar chrome extension, and like Rikaichamp for Firefox has pitch accent info as well as audio for anyone interested in that functionality, but uses chrome. Makes quick pitch accent checks a lot quicker since you don't have to go to another web page

Thanks, Daichi. I really appreciate the feedback and comments; keep them coming!

Thanks, Michael. Having a browser extension like this is going to make it easier for Japanese learners to see pitch accents, which will hopefully improve your studies and also make more people aware of them!

Hi, Briana! I did know about the NHK app, but thank you for mentioning and linking it. This is yet another good resource for people studying Japanese.

Hi, Maelle; thank you for your comment. I hope that Ganbatte Shadowing gets fixed soon, because it's a good resource for learners (as you know). Some apps have a support link either in the app or the app store; if you can, I think it's a good idea to let them know what you're seeing. Oh, and thank you for your review of the app. It helps to share your experience with others!

I tried Ganbatte just now. It doesn't seem to work well. For Task 1, all the controls in the bottom 1/2 of the screen are dimmed, so at first glance, they do not appear to be active. The difference between "selected" and not it too subtle.

Hi, Michael, and thanks for mentioning Yomichan. Chrome users need pitch accent love, too!

Hi, デーモン. It's unfortunate that the app isn't working well; new apps sometimes have problems. Hopefully they can get these issues worked out soon.

This app is over 4 years old. It apparently has requested microphone access as I verified I grant permission. It never offers to record my voice nor displays the waveform window. Perhaps an iOS 14 issue but they claim ios14 support.

Crate Job!

I found this resource that includes the 単語 and Pitch Accent for tons of common words, including example sentences for teachers to use in class. I'm unsure of how well-known this is but I think this may useful! https://kyoan.u-biq.org/tango.html

Hi, I'm a new subscriber and thanks for the app recommendations! I hope you continue to feel better soon! I hope it's not longhaul symptoms of covid but you might want to consider and look into it if you want (even asymptomatic people can feel sluggish later). Please take care of yourself!

Appreciate the kind words Mellisa. Will try looking into this. Thank you for signing up and good luck with your future studies!

Seems like the Anki deck link doesn't work. Also, keep working out and POWER THROUGH!

Hi Noah! Sorry about that—just fixed it, everything should be working now. Also about to work out now. Cheers!

Hi Dogen, I'm new here. How do I find all the content other than scrolling & scrolling? I've never used patreon before.
