Project JDS Japanese is a tricky language to master, both verbally and on a written level as well. However, Nintendo DS homebrew developer A.A. van Zoelen has made a nifty little application that aims to test your Japanese character writing skills and even grades you on the quality of your penmanship.
While similar Japanese learning applications on the PSP have been designed, Project JDS v1.30 is a unique application for the DS which allows you to test out the different brush strokes needed to master the hiragana and katakana characters of the Japanese language. This gives users who are interested in learning Japanese the chance to practice and identify how to write these various characters.
Since the characters are based on phonetic syllables, Project JDS v1.30 allows you to use the stylus to practice each individual character from either hiragana, katakana, romanji and all the combinations from one set of characters to another. While it doesn't support kanji characters, the application does support a feature which allows you to listen how a certain character is pronounced.
For those of you interested or are currently learning Japanese, this application is definitely for you. This versatile learning app is something people on the go can use to master this tricky language.
Here's the complete changelog history of this unique homebrew application:
