Pony: Learn Japanese & English

A new way to learn Japanese and English at the same time.

Studying Japanese, and feeling your English slip? Pony puts both into the same lesson: one Chinese sentence, with its Japanese and its English side by side on the same card. Japanese is brand new; English gets woken back up. No second app, no second study session.

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD
Pony's app interface (menus, buttons, settings) is in Chinese. The lesson cards are trilingual — Japanese, romaji, English and Chinese together — but navigating the app requires reading Chinese. Pony is built for Chinese speakers, not for English-only speakers.

ONE CARD, THREE WAYS TO SAY IT
"これ、おいしい！", "This is delicious!" and "这个好好吃！" are the same thing said three ways — side by side, so the differences are right in front of you. Sentences come with kana reading, romaji, English and Chinese.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• 18 chapters, 891 lessons of real scenes — office, shopping, business trips, sightseeing, then health and social topics. Each scene opens with the dialogue, then teaches the grammar it just used, then the words
• Japanese from N5 through N3; English mostly at junior-high level
• Kanji bridges — Japanese kanji explained side by side with the Chinese characters you already read; katakana loanwords matched to their English
• Speaking practice — record yourself in Japanese or English and get a pronunciation score. We never receive or store your recordings
• Kana learned in the background — a few rows at the start of each chapter, used right away; you know them all by the end of chapter 10. The kana chart and grammar chart are one tap away
• Gentle ramp — chapter 1 introduces 4 new words per lesson, easing up to 8 later; a placement test to start, spaced review on a forgetting-curve schedule

9,000+ cards for listening, speaking, reading and writing. Vocabulary comes with hand-drawn illustrations, and built-in audio reads both the Japanese and the English, offline.

The first two chapters are free. Unlock everything with a monthly or annual plan (7-day free trial on annual) or a one-time purchase.
