Move beyond the basics into structured vocabulary lessons across 6 units and 140+ lessons. Every word comes with audio so you can hear and practice correct pronunciation as you learn.

Write by Hand: A full drawing canvas for every word — practice writing Japanese characters with your finger or stylus. The character outlines guide your strokes, and stroke-order animation videos show you exactly how each character is written.
