From seeing to remembering

A lesson that gives
you a next step.

Meet the language first.
Then practise with less support.

01

Meet a few words, not a wall of them.

Kana and vocabulary appear in small groups with readings, meanings and examples. Hear the word, move at your pace and check what you remember.

02

See an example. Try with guidance.

Worked examples introduce a pattern before supported practice and short checks. Reading, listening and scenario lessons put familiar language into context.

03

Make a plan for the time you have.

Choose 5, 10, 20, 30 or 60 minutes. Balanced, Review and Focus methods help you decide what to work on today.

04

See what you did with and without help.

Revisit mistakes and return for later checks. Progress keeps first-try, supported and delayed results separate, rather than calling every completed topic mastery.

More than a word list

Give your Japanese
a little room to grow.

あ

Read & listen

Practise kana, kanji, vocabulary and grammar, then use them in short texts and listening tasks.

話

Try saying it

Rehearse speaking and use a built-in, rule-based conversation partner. Speech delivery estimates are practice feedback, not a speaking score.

書

Put it into words

Use scenario tasks and writing prompts, then reflect with a clear rubric. Free responses are not automatically marked correct.

A few useful details

Before you begin.

Is this for complete beginners?

Yes. Kana and N5 foundations are the current focus. If you already know some Japanese, the optional starting check can help you find a route; lessons remain open.

Can I install it?

Open the app and visit Settings for installation options. Keep studying in your usual browser or install it where your device supports installation.

What does it remember?

Progress is saved on this device. Use the app's backup options before moving between browsers or devices. The studio website does not transfer your learning history between apps.

Is the course fully reviewed?

No. Japanese educator review, verified recordings and learner validation are pending. The app supports N5 foundations; it does not certify proficiency or promise complete exam preparation.
