An app for practicing conjugating Japanese verbs based on JLPT level and grammar point.
- Choose verbs by JLPT Level (constantly updating)
- Choose grammar point (past tense, potential form, passive form etc.)
- Text input automatically changes to Hiragana so no need to change input settings
- Verb changes when correct when pressing space, allows for rapid practice
- Call Jisho API with Express to get verbs based on JLPT level
- Stores data to cache to help with loading times and to reduce API calls
- Loading screen shows while data is loading
- Battled with whether or not to call all JLPT data at once or based on selected level
- Creating the logic for checking each grammar point
- Learned a lot about promises
- Struggled with learning how to get the grammar point component to generate a new answer without refs. Once an answer has been correctly inputted, refreshRequired changes to 'true' which calls another word from the grammarPoint component
- Issues with deploying to Heroku because of unlisted dependencies
- A lot of tightly-coupled components that need reworking
- Grammar guides
- Fully responsive
- Scorecard
- More conjugations
- Ability to chain together grammar points
- Refactoring!
- Potential form only accepts grammatically correct masu stem + られる but will update in the future to add colloquial but largely accepted masu stem + れる
- Imperative form accepts the common 'verbal conjugation'. Please see the below table. Will potentially add other conjugations in the future
| English | Dictionary Form | Verbal | Literary | なさい |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| To eat | 食べる | 食べろ | 食べよ | 食べなさい |
| To see | 見る | 見ろ | 見よ | 見なさい |
| To disappear | 消える | 消えろ | 消えよ | 消えなさい |
- Some conjugations are a little strange, but this app is more for creating muscle memory over vocabulary study. For example: The te form of 曇る (曇って) would seldom be used in conversation...
