Game-like Lessons
You'll learn through interactive lessons that feel just like playing a game. Using active recall, you'll practice various skills such as reading, writing, and understanding meanings.
Once you've practiced and passed a test, the items you've learned are sent to your reviews.

Spaced Repetition
Your reviews are scheduled based on your performance. The more times you get them right, the further apart they will be scheduled.
This way you won't forget what you learned, you'll spend less time studying what you already know, and you'll have more time to learn new things.

Japanese words and Kanji may seem complex, but they become easier to remember when broken down into simpler parts.
You'll learn by building them up piece by piece, selecting their parts as you progress through the lessons.

In Japanese, many characters look very similar, and it's easy to get confused.
To help you overcome this, when you confuse one character with another, they are placed side by side so you can learn to differentiate them.

Instead of being forced to memorize a keyword, you can answer meaning questions with your own words.
Thanks to AI, we can understand your answers and help you learn in a more natural way.

You decide how many lessons and reviews to do each day.
Whether you have 10 minutes or 2 hours to study, we don't force you into a specific rhythm, so you'll never get bored or overwhelmed.

There are many ways to order kanji and vocabulary, and they all are useful for different reasons.
That's why we let you group and sort by different methods, so you can learn according to your needs.

Visualize your progress across the different courses and content categories.
Your progress on the items you learn is saved globally, so whenever you change grouping or sorting, you don't have to start from scratch.

Meanings, readings, explanations, examples, audio and parts.
This means you are always learning in context.

Japanese Handwriting is very strict about the order of strokes.
That's why each item comes with a PDF with grid lines and stroke order that you can print or download to start practicing your handwriting in the proper way.

Learn in months what would take you years at a language school. Even a Japanese school child spends a decade learning what you can learn in a couple of years.
No costly enrollment, tuition fees, books, materials, travels, hotels, food, or transportation. Learn Japanese in the comfort of your home for just a tiny fraction of the cost.
