Omedetou

Omedetou is a complete Japanese course that lives on your phone.

Start at the very beginning — the hiragana and katakana charts, one sound at a time, with audio and pronunciation notes for every character. Then work upward through more than fifty grammar chapters, from your first sentence to N1 material, each with worked examples, vocabulary and practice questions.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Kana from zero — 28 lessons across hiragana and katakana, with readings, audio and example words • Fifty-plus grammar chapters — N5 through N1, plus counters, dates, keigo and everyday slang • Graded tests — sit them on a schedule, get a report card and a running GPA • Flashcards — vocabulary and kanji, scheduled by a spaced-repetition system that shows you a card just before you'd forget it • A real dictionary — thousands of entries, searchable in English or Japanese, with conjugation tables and audio • 1,100+ kanji — readings, meanings and example words • Reading passages — graded comprehension practice with full furigana • Particles, cheat sheets and conjugation drills • Custom lessons — build your own sets from anything in the app

BUILT FOR READING JAPANESE

Furigana sits above every kanji, and one slider controls how large Japanese text appears throughout the app — so readings stay legible whatever your eyesight. Anything can be read aloud, and you can search the dictionary by speaking instead of typing.

YOUR PROGRESS, YOUR DEVICE

Everything you do is stored on your iPhone. There are no accounts, no sign-up, no advertising, no analytics and no third-party trackers. Turn on iCloud sync and your progress follows you to another device through your own private iCloud — which nobody else can read. You can export a backup at any time.

The app works completely offline. It never needs a connection to teach you anything.

A home screen widget shows a word from your studies and rotates it through the day.

There are also a few things hidden in the app for the curious.
