In the new Japanese 2 (kana&kanji) level 5 英語 has the audio for こうちゃをください in some cases.
Thank you Kleineganz. It does work when I input しょうさん, it lets me convert it to 翔さん. That is great.
Hi,
I found 2 errors in Japanese 3 Lesson 6.
The female voice audio does not correspond the male voice speech.
This happens with 2 words: “is wide” and "is narrow"
The male voice reads out the text, but the female one says something completely different.
Thanks
Fixed. Thanks for flagging.

new japanese-2/6 kanji&kana edition has the audio for マリアさんは日本語が上手です for the text 同じ in the female voice.
Hello,
I just recently added the new Japanese 1 course and I’m having a hard time doing the Kanji items on that course due to the current input system I’m using, which is through this website: https://www.branah.com/japanese. It seems that it doesn’t show the correct Kanji characters for the given items; for example, kanpai! is 乾杯！but have some missing Kanji characters in that website.
So instead of trying to burn my bows off finding the correct Kanji characters by translating Fujiyomi/Romaji to Kanji is there a keyboard input where I could just type in Hiragana and auto-deciphers it to Kanji?
I tried installing the Google IME tool but it gives me errors when installing, that’s why I’ve been using that website in the first place. I was thinking that it might be caused by incompatibilities with Windows XP. And I’m using Chrome as my browse, if anyone’s wondering.
Hello!
That sounds like an extremely annoying issue! I always find that the best way of installing Japanese keyboard is to just go to the computer setting. Since you said you’re on XP maybe the below can help? (from http://www.yesjapan.com/video/pages/install-japanese-windows-xp.html)
Adding Japanese to your PC
Step 1: Regional and Language Options
Step 2: Install files for East Asian languages
Step 3: Add a Japanese Keyboard
Step 4 (optional): Running Japanese Programs on Windows XP
Typing in Japanese
Step 5: Changing to Japanese Type Mode
Step 6: Changing the Language Bar to display in English
Step 7: Minimizing the Language Bar
Step 8: Typing in Japanese
Step 9: Japanese Language Bar shortcuts
Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with.

Thank you very much!
I’ve been struggling to change the input settings without messing with the system’s settings in my computer because it has the XP Korean edition installed (reason why I’m learning Korean too), so it’s hard to navigate without any visual help, and most of the sites I’ve found are making me install the Google IME tool even though it is giving me errors installing.
Anyway, This is a GREAT help and I appreciate how you helped a stranger despite you having your own schedule. ありがとうございます！

There is an issue with the sound exercises in the Level 1 (I don`t know, whether it is like that throughout the whole course): when you need to match an audio with a syllable, the syllables are presented in romanji instead of hiragana, which makes exercise useless
It seems that technicians fixed this one, but, unfortunately, it turns out that there is another type of audio exercise with the same problem
Hi @SeekerofSelf
I’m afraid this is not a bug but a feature. I know this test type is redundant, but disabling this means disabling the whole audio test even for the relevant ones. (ie prompt with hello, and you need to choose audio that says konnichiwa). In order to avoid those tests, I believe the best thing is to set all hiragana/katakana levels to ‘ignore’ once you feel that you’ve remembered them perfectly. Sorry it’s not much of a help

Japanese 1, Level 12: Fuel Your Vocab: Food
For the word “鶏肉, chicken (meat)” it says that it’s pronounced “とりにく(toriniku)” whereas the romaji says “keiniku”.
Hi,
Thanks for for the post & the screenshot! I’m aware of this error but at the moment the function to fix romaji and furigana is broken so I can’t make any corrections 
I will amend this (and a few missing furigana) as soon as the tool is fixed. Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience!

Did the kanji for “being thirsty” in Japanese 1 change from "乾いています"to “渇いています”? Making sure I’m not going crazy 
I am having some trouble with the Japanese 1 section 6 “I Come in Peace”. The exercise requires you to spell 里保さん. however when typing riho or rihou it does not give 里保, but instead 里穂. Any and all help on this would be much appreciated.
Not a great solution, but try typing り and scroll down to 里 then type ほ and scroll to 保. With some luck, after a while your computer might learn you want to select 里保 when you type りほ.
What system/program are you using? I know through a Mac’s language settings there’s a way to add custom words for replacement, so that りほ can become 里保. It’s something I had to add to do the exercises. I’d think there’s something similar in other applications too.
Thanks Timothy, ill hope for the best.
McFadge, I have Win7 and tried scrolling through all of the available options, but I just wound up copy/pasting from the practice to get through it 
Hey, why are there 3 different versions of the japanese courses?? I’m using old and now I feel bad because the new one is so much better
