Noma: Japanese for Travel

Focus on learning the Japanese you actually need on your trip. Create your own phrasebook from natural translations, then remember them with flashcards.

Built after my own Japan trip left me frustrated with language apps teaching me things I didn't need. Noma helps you learn the phrases you'll actually use in real travel moments. Early days, but built with care and constantly improving.

What you can do with Noma:

• Translate naturally Type what you want to say in English. Get natural Japanese a native speaker would actually use, not stiff textbook translations.

• Save what matters Build your own Japanese phrasebook from what you actually use. No random vocabulary lists. (Unlimited with Pro)

• Practice to remember Review your saved phrases later with flashcards so they actually stick.

• Decode what you heard Type or say the half-mumbled phrase you caught (“skosh… omachi kudasai?”). Noma figures out what was said and what it means.

• Hear it clearly Natural, native-quality Japanese pronunciation on every phrase. Slow it down when you need to. (Unlimited with Pro)

• See how it works Break down every phrase word by word — what each part means, what each particle is doing, and how it all fits together. (Unlimited with Pro)
