Have you ever been confused with the particle に and で? Is it "NYに?" or "NYで"? Well, here's the answer! (^^)
A bit less than 20h to go for this kickstarter project and so close to their goal go and help them
Un peu moins de 20h avant la fin des appels à contribution pour ce projet kickstarter qui est vraiment proche de son but, cela s'adresse à vous la population francophone japanophile, allez donc donner un coup de pouce final, Imiwa? l'a fait ! Kanji Oboe
feeling excited.It's not everyday a kickstarter project is promoting the Japanese Language, go help them now
After a minor glitch imiwa? is back in the App Store still for the incredible price of "free" Thanks for your reports.
Because electronic flashcard systems are so overrated
Nice (French) initiative to create a physical flashcard set!
Haven't installed iOS8 yet? You might want to reconsider: This free keyboard extension from MyScript will give you a Japanese handwriting keyboard that you can use across all your apps including imiwa? of course. It is not just Japanese actually but a whole load of languages. This is great stuff!
Only in Japan… I knocked your bike over and regret that I broke your bell. I am so sorry…
The note says, "I accidentally knocked your bike over and broke the bell. I am very sorry."
This is why I love living in Japan. See our follow up to this story from a Japanese and foreigner perspective. http://blog.gaijinpot.com/broken-japanese-bicycle-bell/
TIP: When you are offline imiwa? 4.0 now speaks using the iOS text to speech function (Siri in effect) but did you know that since iOS7.1 there are higher quality voices available including for Japanese? Not as good as the connected speech function (powered by iSpeech.org) but worth the try.
Go to Settings app > General > Accessibility > Voice Over > Languages & Dialects > Add Language > Japanese > and select Enhanced Quality = ON
You needn't activate Voice Over for this. Any... other app will benefit from the higher quality voices.
You may test it using the airplane mode on your device.
There is some imiwa? love awaiting for you on the AppStore we hope you enjoy this free upgrade. iOS7 only.

You know you’ve been in Japan too long when…
1. You point to your nose when referring to yourself.
2. You ask for a non-smoking table in a restaurant.
3. You gi...ve someone a gift because they gave you a gift.
4. You bow while talking on the phone.
5. You wave your hand in front of your face to indicate ”no”.
6. You unconsciously throw up peace signs on photos.
Teaser for the next version of imiwa? that is approaching the end of the development phase. Soon on your iOS7 devices…
