Hanabi - Japanese Vocab

Learn the Japanese you hear in anime and actually use in everyday life.

Hanabi is a focused vocabulary app built around a curated collection of approximately 4,000 useful Japanese words commonly found in anime and everyday conversation.

Rather than overwhelming you with huge vocabulary lists, the focus is on words worth learning. Each word includes its reading, meaning, a natural example sentence and pronunciation audio to help you understand not just what a word means, but how it can be used.

BUILD VOCABULARY THAT FEELS USEFUL

Discover words that frequently appear in anime while also being useful in everyday conversation. Learn through practical examples that put each word into a natural, easy-to-understand context.

LEARN AT YOUR OWN PACE

Learn with consistency, not pressure. There are no complicated lessons to complete or endless tasks demanding your attention. Open the app, learn a few words and come back when you're ready.

WATCH YOUR PROGRESS GROW

As you learn, your collection grows with you. Earn illustrated word stickers and build a visual record of the vocabulary you've learned along the way.
