• Grammar lessons, from your first kana to N1: each point taught with a picture, real sentences and a quick "Make it say" quiz. • Grammar arrives when you need it: a new point opens right after you read a sentence that uses it. • Tap a grammar tag while you read to open its lesson, with the sentences you've already read. • Bug fixes and improvements.
Turn your scrolling into Japanese. Yomaru is a continuous, full-screen learning flow: swipe through kanji, the words they unlock, and real sentences, with writing practice and reviews woven in as you go. KANJI UNLOCK WORDS. WORDS UNLOCK SENTENCES. Most apps drill kanji and vocabulary in isolation. Yomaru builds reading ability in the order Japanese is built: • Start at your level — hiragana, katakana, or JLPT N5 to N1. Starting from zero, your first words, like ここ (here) and この (this), unlock within a few cards. • Kanji unlock words — you never meet a word before its kanji. Learn 人 (person), and 一人 (one person) appears. • Words unlock sentences — once you know the words, you read a real sentence like 大人一人です on your own. • Grammar when you need it — each grammar point, from です to N1, opens right after you read a sentence that uses it, taught with a picture, real examples and a quick "make it say" quiz. • Make it stick — trace every kanji stroke by stroke with live guidance. • Reviews in the flow — spaced repetition brings items back right as you're about to forget them. No decks to manage. • See your Japanese grow — a daily goal, your study rhythm, JLPT progress from N5 to N1, and recent discoveries on the Learn dashboard. READ REAL JAPANESE • Find your next good read — Japanese articles, essays, and short stories from curated feeds, each tagged by JLPT difficulty. • Put your Japanese to use — open a website or paste text, tap any word for its reading and meaning, see a sentence translation and the grammar it uses, and send the sentence to Learn. • Turn photos into practice — menus, signs, packaging: Yomaru finds the Japanese text on your device, adds furigana, and turns the words you don't know into lessons.
