Learn Japanese: DarumaGo

Start Japanese from scratch with 5‑minute lessons, daily practice, and your Tomodachi study buddy to track progress and keep you motivated every day.

Learn Japanese from scratch with DarumaGo. Build a solid JLPT N5 base through short, focused lessons and daily practice that fits around a busy life.

Start from the absolute basics: • Intro Module 0: Understand how Japanese works, what hiragana and katakana are, and read your first simple words. • Full Hiragana course: Master every character step by step with reading, listening and writing practice so you can confidently read simple Japanese. • Full Katakana course: Learn to read foreign loanwords such as coffee, hotel and internet, preparing you for menus, signs and everyday words in Japan. • 1 integrated topic: Self introduction. Practise introducing yourself with your name, nationality and simple details, just like in a real beginner Japanese class.

Turn knowledge into skills with targeted practice: • Recognition exercises (multiple choice): Train yourself to recognise kana instantly so you do not need to pause and think about each character. • Dictation (listen and choose): Improve listening and reading together by matching what you hear to the correct kana and words. • Basic character writing: Learn stroke order and character shapes so you can write hiragana and katakana clearly by hand and remember them more easily.

Stay motivated with your Tomodachi: • Get friendly, in app encouragement to keep learning a little every day. • Tap any kana or phrase to hear clear audio so you learn the right pronunciation from the start. • Build a habit with XP points, daily streaks and achievements that show your progress from the first character to your first sentences.
