Japanese Conjugation Helper

⚠ This project has been been retired ⚠

A console application that will conjugate Japanese verbs, adjectives and nouns. Get kanji infomation, download audio of pronunciations, various tests and practice, a translator & sentence breakdown and more!

Here you can see the program performing its main functions.
