Japanese should feel like one language — not five separate subjects.
We built one N5–N3 learning path that connects vocabulary, grammar, kanji, reading, listening and production from the beginning.
One route through a complex language
Japanese learners are often left to combine flashcards, a grammar guide, a kanji tool and whatever listening material they can find. Each resource may be useful, but the learner still has to design the course. Japanese gives every new item a place, a reason to appear and a clear next step. Complete beginners can start with our Japanese course for beginners, while returning learners can use the placement test.
Communication gives the curriculum direction
Units are organised around outcomes: introduce yourself, make a plan, follow directions, tell a story, explain a reason or understand what is happening around you. Japanese vocabulary, grammar and kanji are selected to help complete that goal rather than fill isolated lists.
Recognition is only the first step
A multiple-choice answer can show familiarity without showing recall. Lessons move from context to practice, then remove support. You read, listen, retrieve and build answers so the language becomes available outside the exercise that introduced it. Spaced repetition tracks recognition, reading, listening and production separately.
Support should fade, not disappear
Rōmaji can help while kana is new, and furigana can unlock an unfamiliar reading. But support has to step back for reading to develop. Japanese reduces it deliberately while keeping help close enough that productive struggle does not become guesswork. See how the app helps you learn hiragana and katakana and then learn kanji through vocabulary.
An honest JLPT N5–N3 path
The 48-unit course is organised around JLPT N5, JLPT N4 and JLPT N3 competence goals. Because the exam does not publish fixed official vocabulary, kanji or grammar lists, our targets are transparent editorial goals — not claims about a secret syllabus or a guaranteed score.
