Small strokes. Steady progress.

Start reading and writing Japanese with short row lessons, guided tracing and quizzes. Follow a suggested two-week starter routine, or spend longer on the sounds and shapes you want to remember. Your learning pace is yours.

Every character lesson stays free
Explore both scripts with 104 study items each: 46 basic characters, 25 marked sounds and 33 small-y combinations. All 208 items, their writing guides, character quizzes and mastery chart are free. Learn hiragana a row at a time, then learn katakana with the same hands-on approach.

Watch, trace and check
See the stroke order animate on grid paper, then draw with your finger. Feedback checks stroke count, order, direction and shape against licensed reference paths. Choose relaxed, normal or strict checking, show or hide stroke numbers, undo a line and try again. Hiragana writing becomes an active part of practice rather than something to remember from a picture.

Read the sound in different ways
Try character-to-romaji, romaji-to-character and audio-to-character questions. Options are built to keep ambiguous readings from appearing as competing correct choices. Modified Hepburn hints include shi, chi, tsu, fu and ji. The shared readings ji and zu are explained, with di and du accepted for the marked t-row forms; o is accepted for wo.

Hear Japanese when a voice is available
Playback uses an installed offline ja-JP voice. If none is available, the app explains how to install one and hides the speaker button. Audio questions need that voice and the audio setting enabled. Reading, tracing and the rest of the japanese alphabet tools work without audio.

Give memory another chance
Spaced review returns a correct answer after one day, then three days, then a growing interval. A missed or revealed character comes back the next day. The free version includes 20 scheduled reviews per day and introduces up to 20 new review cards daily. All lessons and tracing remain accessible after that allowance is used.

A chart that grows with you
See every kana study item in a mastery heatmap. Tap a tile to revisit its writing guide. Your own writing checks and quiz answers build your daily goal, streak and accuracy record. Progress is saved locally; handwriting drawings are not saved or sent to analytics.

Read familiar sounds in words
Pro word packs contain over 200 ordinary reading words plus extended katakana examples. Explore daily life, nature, people, food and common loanwords. A rewarded video can unlock one word pack for 24 hours. Extended combinations such as those used for foreign sounds belong to the word packs.

Your routine, your settings
Turn romaji hints and audio on or off, choose an installed voice, adjust stroke checking and set a daily goal. Optional reminders are off until you enable them. Use light, dark or system appearance. Export or import an actual JSON backup file for progress and preferences.

Pro adds all word packs, unlimited scheduled reviews and ad removal, with monthly, yearly and lifetime choices at Google Play prices. An eligible yearly offer may include a seven-day trial. Every basic and marked character, combination, trace and character quiz stays free.

Learn hiragana, learn katakana and revisit hiragana writing through small daily steps. Your kana lessons and japanese alphabet chart are ready offline; optional ads and purchases need a connection.
