Japanese Learning: Speak Words

Japanese learning that speaks — words first, from your very first one to a real conversation. You see the words and sentences, you hear them, and you say them out loud. You don't need to know hiragana: the romaji reading sits right under the Japanese, so you can start today.

Vocabulary, listening and offline study run as one daily flow. Words, sentences, pronunciation and speaking belong to the same routine, and audio you've already played stays on your device, so a lost signal doesn't end the session. We teach first and ask afterward: a word you've never seen never starts with a test.

HOW YOU LEARN

Learn first, check afterward. New words and new sentences only turn into questions once you've had time to take them in.

One word, tracked from several angles: recognizing the meaning, recalling it yourself, understanding it by ear and saying it out loud are each recorded separately.

Spaced repetition. A word comes back just as you're about to forget it, and each angle returns on its own schedule, so you never grind through what you already know.

Practice follows the way you got it wrong. What comes next depends on where you got stuck.
