Bullet Japanese was developed by a computer programmer who lives in Japan and was forced to master Japanese as quickly and easily as possible. He stumbled upon a flashcard system that allowed him to memorize 2 Japanese alphabets and hundreds of words in days.

He adapted that system into a computerized picture learning system simple enough for an 8 year old to use. The system is based on a design done by professionals who specialize in studying Japanese.

The flashcards have an effective, proven balance of vocabulary, Japanese alphabets, grammar and Kanji. The game play is fast and timed. This keeps your full attention at a heightened level so you learn at your highest capacity. Your score is tracked by the computer. So your progress can be measured.

The developer claims you will be able to increase your Japanese vocabulary by the 100's in just days while having fun.
