Japanese for Learn or Die: Language Teacher. A complete mod: the Learn or Die teacher and quizzes plus everything for Japanese.
Your teacher watches what you do in Minecraft and says it out loud in Japanese: 私は土を掘っています watashi wa tsuchi o hotte imasu, "I am digging the dirt". The sentence shows up on screen in Japanese script with its romaji reading and the English translation. Then she quizzes you: answer right and you get buffs, answer wrong and you get debuffs.
What's inside
- 2,911 spoken phrases about what you do: walking, mining, chopping trees, placing blocks, eating, fighting, sleeping, the weather and more. Counted items the natural way: the sentence first, the number with its counter word after it (3本, 15枚).
- 515 words in polite, everyday Japanese: kanji and kana as they are really written, colour adjectives (赤い羊毛, "red wool"), particles は, を and に coloured by their role in the sentence, and the right counter word for every item.
- Romaji under every sentence (hold Right Shift), so you can read along from day one, and a Japanese font that draws the characters properly.
- A calm, young, studio-quality voice from Japan at two speeds, normal and slow (press K). Works offline.
- Voice answers in Japanese. Say the phrase into your microphone; the speech recognition runs on your own computer (set it up in the mod's settings).
How to install
- Download the file for your Minecraft version, 1.21.1 or 26.3. The same file works on Fabric and NeoForge.
- Put it into your
modsfolder and start the game. With more than one language, choose it in the settings: press I → Language.
With the CurseForge App, just install this mod into a Fabric or NeoForge profile of Minecraft 1.21.1 or 26.3: the app picks the right file.
The file is about 90 MB because all the teacher's speech is inside it: no internet is needed to play.
