Anyone know a good japanese learning app/website for a 11-year-old?

1. Duolingo is a good starting app to get his feet wet in the language

2. I like using Duolingo, make sure you turn off the romanji headings in the settings though or it is too easy

3. Lingodeer has a kids app I believe, but the normal one is still pretty good

4. op I suggest [https://www.tokiniandy.com/](https://www.tokiniandy.com/)

   he also has a youtube channel wiht all the grammar videos for free

   his channel follows the Genki text book

   for kanji I like using Wanikani

5. Drops could be good. It was one of my starter apps

6. If you have Nintendo DS Lite somewhere, there’s My Japanese Coach – it’s rough but I’ve learned katakana and hiragana thanks to this “game”. I believe there’s also kanji and phrases etc. but I’ve never went that far tbh.

7. jisho.org is an online dictionary. it’s way more useful that a paper dictionary and has mountains of brilliant features, I don’t know where I would be without it

8. There was a [thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/comments/x7e0ag/what_resources_are_good_for_a_9_year_old_to_learn/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) just the other day with people sharing resources for a 9-year-old, and some of those may still be the right level for an 11-year-old.

9. My elementary school child is using duolingo.

   The gamification helps keep interest going.

   The romaji option is so helpful for learning a second “alphabet”.

10. Renshuu.org is a good one

11. I wrote a post which has almost everything you need to know: https://www.reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/comments/x7e0ag/what_resources_are_good_for_a_9_year_old_to_learn/infe9j1/
