A little Japanese,
every day.
Take it one sound, one word, one character at a time. You’re right where you need to be.
A few seconds of speaking helps a new word stick.

Meet your first characters
Hiragana is used everywhere in Japanese. Let’s make it feel familiar.
Every step counts
Hiragana ひらがな
The soft, rounded script you’ll see in every Japanese sentence. Tap any character to mark it learned.
Katakana カタカナ
A sharper-looking script used for borrowed words, foreign names, and sound effects. Tap a character when it feels familiar.
Kanji 漢字
Characters that carry meaning. Start with familiar ideas like person, day, mountain, and water.
One character can have several readings. Learn it inside a word and the reading starts to make sense.
Little words,
big connections.
Explore everyday Japanese, grouped by the script you’re learning. Each word includes its reading and meaning.
Start with the essentials
Practice, gently.
Kana, kanji, and word cards use only characters you’ve marked learned. Word practice keeps drawing from the words that match.
