NDS DS Bimoji Training - New Import, In Stock
NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Beautiful penmanship is a rarity nowadays what with the Blackberry and texting doing all of our written notes for us. Perhaps proper handwriting and calligraphy are dying relics but it doesn't have to be like that. Instead of the chicken scratches that you create on paper, Bimoji Training teaches users the proper way of writing kanji characters so they curve, slant, and come together like they should in the classical style.

   The software features a total of 3,099 kanji characters which are categorized into eight stages of proficiency. As you conquer one level of difficulty, move onto the next level to hone your kanji writing skills until you're like an old master. You know, the ones who have grizzly goatees and gnarly hands who look like they're really wise and learned.

Bonus Schwag
   Every copy of Bimoji Training is packaged with a bonus full-length touch pen that mounted on the front of the product packaging.

NCS Product Notes
» Proper NDS kanji writing requires a vertical aspect ratio. As such, rotate the NDS 90° counterclockwise so that the unit is held open like a book.

» The greatest advantage of learning how to write kanji properly on the NDS is the absence of harsh feedback. If you're learning under a human tutor, he/she will eventually tire of your ineptitude and start scolding, scowling, crying, and wailing about your lack of skill. By learning under the innocuous tutelage of the Nintendo DS, you move at your own pace and repeat each kanji character as often as you want until you're satisfied.

» Each kanji character is made up of a certain number of strokes. In each character exercise, the software scrawls out the kanji in red ink and then stops. Make sure you take notes on the order of each stroke and the direction that brush was moving when each stroke was made. The number of strokes used is listed directly below the character. Monkey see, monkey do - follow the same movements that you just witnessed to recreate the character on the touch screen with the same number of strokes.

» In our opinion, Bimoji Training is a beautiful piece of software which is invaluable for students who are learning how to write kanji. It's well designed and contains a large number of characters in its library. Please note however that there's no English anywhere in the software. Nada. Kanji-caped users can however navigate through the menus by trial and error to get to the exercise portion of the software in a minute or two.
