iKana: Japanese Flash Card Learning Tool
I think iKana is pretty cool, even if you're not trying to learn Japanese, because it demonstrates how even a simple flash card tool can be done the Mac way. In addition to the built-in flash card sets, iKana lets you create your own, and then quizzes you in style. Maybe best of all is the integration with the Apple Remote for flipping cards and answering the quiz questions. In my view, ThinkMac should take the underlying basic ideas and expand them to make a general purpose flash card program that works in the same way. As someone who has filled out his share of flash cards for learning other languages, I really like the idea of sitting back with the Apple Remote and running through cards.iKana is $18 and a demo is available.

You can learn kana in a few weeks. They really need to make a kanji program, that's the hard part of reading and writing Japanese.

This would come in really handy tonight when I have to learn a bunch of german verbs. Writing out all those index cards gets pretty boring after a while.
