Learn Japanese (nihongo) from zero to real conversation. You see Japanese words and sentences, you hear them from a native speaker, and you say them out loud. Every word and sentence has its kana reading and romaji right underneath, so kanji never blocks you.
Wondering how to learn Japanese without getting lost? This Japanese learning app teaches first and asks afterward, so a word you've never seen never starts with a test. Every word comes with native audio, a picture and an example sentence, which makes learning Japanese by ear as natural as learning it by sight.
HOW YOU LEARN JAPANESE
• Learn first, check afterward: new words only turn into questions once you've had time to take them in
• One word, tracked from several angles: recognizing the meaning, recalling it yourself, understanding it by ear and saying it out loud
• Spaced repetition: a word comes back just as you're about to forget it, so you never grind through what you already know
• Memory check: a few days later the app asks your words back with no hints, and you see which ones stayed
• Practice follows the way you got it wrong
WAYS TO PRACTICE JAPANESE
• Word cards, picture cards and Japanese audio learning by ear
• Sentence cards: the sentence and what it means
• Pick the picture, pick the meaning, match the sentence
• Listen and find the right word or sentence
• Speaking cards: listen, repeat and get scored word by word
• Hands-free mode: sentences play one after another while you drive or walk, with controls on the lock screen
HOW TO SPEAK JAPANESE OUT LOUD
Flip through sentences, pick the ones you like, listen and say them back. This is practice for Japanese speaking with a score for every word: green for what you said right, red for what you missed, with the reading underneath. If the microphone couldn't hear you, it doesn't count as a mistake. Star your favorite sentences and practice just those.
