Description
Tabikana is your essential companion for a trip to Japan. I've built the app over time to focus on the essentials, based on my own trips to Japan: katakana lessons to help you read Japanese, plus practical travel tools for currency, phrases and more.
Here's what Tabikana includes:
**KATAKANA LESSONS**
Katakana is one of the three Japanese alphabets, and it's mainly used for words which come from English - food and transport words especially. Learning katakana was the single best thing I did before my first trip to Japan. For a little effort, you can understand a lot, and impress some locals in the process!
I've written every lesson by hand, as a native English speaker who has studied Japanese. This means the lessons are written from first-hand learning experience - I'll help you avoid all the usual pitfalls.
Tabikana's Katakana Features:
• 25 hand-written lessons which help you to read every katakana
• Audio recordings for every katakana to help with pronunciation
• 48 hand-picked vocabulary words, explained in detail to show how katakana works
• Test your knowledge with dynamic quizzes which focus on the parts you need to improve
• Gain XP as your katakana knowledge improves, and see what level you can reach!
• No ads, tracking or accounts, and works completely offline
**TRAVEL KIT**
Beyond katakana lessons, I've included some practical tools I wished I'd had on my first trip to Japan. No need to juggle multiple apps - everything works offline and is designed specifically for travellers.
Essential Japanese Phrases:
• 25 curated phrases you'll actually use day to day, including politeness, shopping, eating and drinking (no asking for directions to the library!)
• Audio recordings to help with pronunciation of every phrase
• Explanations on when to use each phrase
Currency Conversion Calculator:
• Convert from Japanese Yen to 20+ currencies, including US Dollars, Euro and British Pounds
• Works completely offline, but if you're online it'll check the latest rates every day
Consumption Tax Calculator:
• Add consumption tax to any pre-tax prices you see while in Japan
• Remove consumption tax from post-tax prices (useful if you're taking advantage of Tax Free options)
**ALL ACCESS PASS**
The All Access Pass unlocks all 25 katakana lessons, all 25 phrases with audio and explanations, plus unlimited quizzes and detailed stats. It's a one-time purchase - no subscription!
