About the Game
Want to learn Japanese but don’t know where to start? Tried many learning methods, but none kept you motivated? Struggling to apply what you're learning in real life?
Wagotabi is a fun and immersive RPG adventure set in real Japan. Fully accessible to beginners, it focuses on teaching the most practical words and grammatical concepts first, in concrete situations: asking for directions, ordering a Bento, expressing your likes and dislikes, and much more! Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji are introduced progressively as you expand your vocabulary.
Wagotabi is the game we wish we had when we first started learning Japanese.
This game is recommended for people who:
