ASADA Learn Japanese

Learn Japanese from kana to N4 with grammar, vocabulary, listening, games, and practical lessons. Explore N5–N4 current-affairs guides with natural audio and notes.

ASADA Japanese is a self-study app that helps you start with kana, build a foundation in N5, and continue into N4.

We believe learning Japanese should be more than reading and memorizing. Through games, example sentences, practice, and learning records, you can gradually turn kana, vocabulary, and grammar into knowledge you remember and use.
