Learn to read Japanese in weeks, not years — with bite-size lessons, games, and flashcards that know when you're about to forget.

How it works

A simple loop that actually sticks.

Meet each hiragana with a visual mnemonic, stroke-order animation, and tracing practice.

Lock it in with memory match, karuta, and kana-popping games built for your phone.

Smart flashcards resurface each character right before you'd forget it.

Reviewing just before you forget makes memories last far longer than cramming.

Pulling an answer from your head strengthens memory more than re-reading ever will.

A tiny story or image — く looks like a bird's beak — gives your brain a hook to hang each character on.

Short rounds, real learning, personal bests.

め

Flip and match characters to their sounds.

か

Hear it, spot it, tap it — inspired by Japan's classic card game.

ぽ

Pop floating kana before they drift away.

Bite-size culture notes — from bowing etiquette to the Japan–Tunisia friendship — in English and Arabic.

Every station from your first vowel to studying in Japan — what you learn at each, and how long it honestly takes.

Your first lesson takes five minutes. It's free.
