This is fun and cute. I got the Japanese one. I would not suggest it if you haven't taken at least an introductory course. I like this because it makes it easier for me to remember a lot of common words. There are a few too many loan words for my taste but not enough for me to not suggest it. It's not really language learning software. It's basically glorified flash cards. It also splits up the pronunciation so you can see which kanji is read in what way in compound spellings.

Basically if you want a cute way to remember a lot of every day objects this is great. If you want to get better at recognizing the kanji for every day objects it's great. If you don't already know how to read kana or are not currently learning them separately don't buy this game for Japanese.
