We have held online regional Japanese language classes using the Japanese language education app &#8220;KURASHI STUDY&#8221; in cooperation with local governments and Japanese language education institutions.Through these activities, we interviewed people involved in Japanese language education, and received several requests for a &#8220;function to measure my ability&#8221; and &#8220;a function to compare my ability with other learners&#8221; in order to continue studying Japanese while having fun. This led to the introduction of a &#8220;KURASHI Quiz&#8221; function that incorporates a game element of solving problems and competing with others.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u25a0 Japanese language app \u201cKURASHI STUDY\u201d<\/b><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/kurashi-study.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/kurashi-study.net<\/a><br \/>\nKURASHI STUDY is a story-based Japanese learning app that teaches Japanese grammar, expressions, vocabulary, and pronunciation through conversation. With a total of 96 scenes based on Japanese life, you can also learn the rules of life and administrative rules necessary for living in Japan. All conversations are audio-recorded, so you can improve your Japanese \u201creading, listening, and speaking\u201d skills just by using the app, without going to school. The app also has an &#8220;Online Japanese Conversation (Talk)*&#8221; service that allows you to take private lessons with a professional Japanese language teacher. You can freely ask for help with things you don&#8217;t understand in your independent study, or with any problems you may have in your life in Japan. It also conforms to the scope and format of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT), and is recommended for those aiming to acquire N5 to N2 levels.<br \/>\n* Online Japanese conversation(Talk) service is a paid option.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u25a0 App overview<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>\u30fbTitle: KURASHI STUDY<a href=\"https:\/\/kurashi-study.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(https:\/\/kurashi-study.net)<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\u30fbSupported OS \/ Recommended operating environment: iOS\/iPad version\/OS 11.0 or higher, Android version\/OS 5.0 or higher<\/li>\n<li>\u30fbLanguages supported: English, Vietnamese, Japanese<\/li>\n<li>\u30fbDistribution countries: Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam<\/li>\n<li>\u30fbDevelopment and operation company: SUN Co., Ltd<\/li>\n<li>\u30fbHow to download\n<ul>\n<li>\u25bcApp Store:<a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/jp\/app\/id1542314715\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KURASHI STUDY for iOS<\/a><\/li>\n<li>\u25bcGoogle Play:<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=net.kurashi.study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KURASHI STUDY for Android<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>\u25a0 SUN Co., Ltd<\/b><br \/>\nWe are an IT company that operates a system integration business, Web design and a foreign resident support business under the corporate philosophy &#8220;To become a globally-renowned company based on our mission &#8216;connect people with people&#8217; &#8220;.
