Talkman is not a game so much as a travel aide that aims to help you improve your pronunciation, hearing and talking (obviously from the viewpoint of a Japanese person travelling outside of Japan).
it is nerdy, but you could make lots of money as a translator, if this game is made in japan for ppl to learn English, I'm almost positive they'll come out with a reverse for Americans. I'm gonna get it if it's not $50
This is not just for Japanese to learn English. You can also use this software to translate from English to Japanese.
In fact, there are four languages that you can translate with, English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. You can translate from any one of those languages to any other one. If you didn't know this, the game comes with a microphone that plugs into the USB port of the PSP. You can talk in the microphone to translate, or to do excercises as well.
It's out now, I wonder just how easy it is to use for us non-Japanese people? All the menus seem to be in Japanese... unless that's a default Setting or something?
PSPADV said: "isay this game is useful if yor in a forin language class i't the best now I can understand wat Ami onuki and yumi yoshimura at thier concerts"
english is my second language, i think this will be great for everyone who is willing to learn! i want to learn korean (because i know korean hate the japanese, i want to know what they say about me haha) then i can suprise them and say "dont insult me!" in korean :D it would be so funny~
ok....here let me explain ... Talkman comes with a usb microphone and via voice recognition translates english to japanese or japanese to english as well as korean and chinese backqwards and forwards...it will translate chinese to japanese or english to korean and vice versa...now maybe it's for nerds but look at you "normals" posting on a pretty nerdy website.... at least we "nerds" can talk smack to your otaku a$$es and u won't know WTF we are saying... meh!
this would be helpfull.............if anyone wnet to japan..........but then again if they did add some more DOWNLOADABLE languages then it would probably be worth it for those forigen language classes
Plus you can set your Talkman menus to be in one of the four languages previously mentioned. With the ability to change it at any time. So it would be fine for all importers of the game. So dont talk about this software without knowing: what it is, what it does, or what it can do.
Holy crap all you guys are trashing this thing for "not being a game", "stupid game", "nerdy crap" like it's totally worthless. It is actually a pretty good tool if you want to learn Chinese/Korean/Japanese. Some may argue that you can listen to tapes/CD's for lesson, but they don't offer you the same interactiveness as Talkman does. Of course it is nothing to compare to a live person teaching you, but for $50 it serves the purpose pretty well. The pronounciation "game" does a pretty good job in picking up what you say and grade your accuracy. I'm gald they come out with something original like this. BTW, this thing works with the sony psp headset w/ the mic.
