## Description

Kakitori teaches you to read the Japanese you actually care about — the lines in the shows you already watch.<br><br>Most apps drill you on isolated words and then leave you stranded the moment you open something real. Kakitori starts you at あいうえお and walks you all the way to reading full sentences, then hands you the tools to pull vocabulary out of anything you&#39;re watching.<br><br>A GUIDED PATH FROM ZERO<br>Begin with kana, move through your first kanji, and grow into real sentences. Each lesson unlocks the next, so you always know what to study today instead of staring at a menu.<br><br>DECODE REAL LINES, WITH AUDIO<br>Take a real Japanese sentence apart word by word, hear it spoken aloud, then rebuild it yourself. This is the part that makes it click.<br><br>WRITE YOUR OWN KANJI MNEMONICS<br>The story you invent is the one you remember. Write your own mnemonic for a kanji and get instant AI feedback on whether it will actually stick — or borrow one that another learner wrote.<br><br>MINE YOUR OWN DECKS<br>Paste in Japanese text and pull the vocabulary straight out of it into a study deck. Learn the words that are in front of you, not a generic frequency list someone else picked.<br><br>REVIEWS THAT RESPECT YOUR TIME<br>Spaced repetition surfaces each word right before you&#39;d forget it. Clear your queue, keep your streak, get on with your day. Sessions are short on purpose.<br><br>COMMUNITY DECKS<br>Browse decks built by other learners, or publish your own for everyone else.<br><br>BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO ALREADY QUIT ONCE<br>No guilt-trip notifications, no cartoon mascot scolding you for missing a day. Just visible progress along a path, and material that stays interesting because it&#39;s the Japanese you chose.<br><br>NO SUBSCRIPTION<br>Kakitori is free to try. Unlocking the full path is a single one-time purchase — not a subscription, and never a recurring charge. Buy it once, keep it forever, including every future update.<br><br>Questions or feedback: info@kakitori.com<br>Terms of Use: https://kakitori.com/terms<br>Privacy Policy: https://kakitori.com/privacy
