2020-12-16 04:51:39 +0000 UTCSeems like the Anki deck link doesn't work. Also, keep working out and POWER THROUGH!

2020-12-12 05:23:05 +0000 UTCHi, 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!

2020-12-09 06:24:33 +0000 UTCI 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

2020-12-09 05:41:54 +0000 UTCThis 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.

2020-12-07 03:57:05 +0000 UTCHi, 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.

2020-12-07 03:32:07 +0000 UTCHi, Michael, and thanks for mentioning Yomichan. Chrome users need pitch accent love, too!

2020-12-07 01:45:59 +0000 UTCI 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.

2020-12-07 01:43:50 +0000 UTCHi, 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!

2020-12-07 01:42:47 +0000 UTCHi, 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.
Dogen
2020-12-07 01:32:26 +0000 UTCThanks, 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!

2020-12-07 01:30:57 +0000 UTCThanks, Daichi. I really appreciate the feedback and comments; keep them coming!

2020-12-07 01:22:04 +0000 UTCYomichan 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

2020-12-06 20:08:54 +0000 UTCDear 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,

2020-12-06 18:46:36 +0000 UTCHi 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!

2020-12-06 17:37:01 +0000 UTCThe 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!
Michael
2020-12-06 10:07:11 +0000 UTCI really appreciate the updates, keep them coming.

2020-12-06 07:47:42 +0000 UTCOoo!! I'm definitely looking forwards to everything you're hopefully going to be putting out in the near future! Stay healthy!
