JGO Japanese Language Card Game for Beginners! Learn Japanese by Playing a Fun Conversational Card Game!

Excelente para practicar japones

As a Japanese Language teacher I'm always looking for new games for my students to play. In the past I have used Uno cards to create various games. While the game play can be similar to uno, the cards were much different.First the quality of the product: I felt there was a higher quality to these cards than some games I have purchased in the past. They have a nice texture to them that will last more than a semester or two.Second, the imagery: There is a variety of action photos, drawings, icons and charts. It does not feel so childish that I would not use it with an adult class, and not so boring that I wouldn't use it for children. It is a good balance.Third, the use of Japanese script: For true beginners, learning to read is a challenge that takes more than a few weeks to master. This game provides romaji (Japanese written in Latin letters) support in smaller font under the larger Japanese script. It helps that the Japanese script is colorful and is confined to hiragana and katakana with only a few of the most basic kanjiFourth, the game: While the playing of the cards is similar to uno and other such card games, this game requires the students to ask a question each time they play a card. For true beginners the images on the cards give them the opportunity to use new skills with a provided vocabulary. For more advanced students, they can use the question as a starting point and ask more elaborate questions. Even the answers are provided to help teach responses.I appreciate this card game. There are times when I'm asked to give a brief lesson at schools. This is a game that I can use for such purposes. and it will make a nice reward for students at the end of a long session or unit.If I could change anything, I would want to have a larger sized set. The cards are roughly the size of regular playing cards. If I had a larger teacher set I could hold it up for the class. Yet I also like this small size because I can take it to a group event without hauling a large suitcase of manipulatives.With our current global situation, playing card games may be on the back burner, but I still feel these cards can be utilized. For online courses, or in person, the teacher can display the card using a projector. The questions on the cards are engaging and the students should interact will with them.As a language teacher with over 13 years of experience teaching Japanese, I highly recommend this game as a supplement for classes.
