A free daily lesson that takes you from zero to reading real Japanese — menus, signs, messages, games, conversations. Built on recall and spaced repetition, not a word-a-day you'll forget.
Tap the buttons — the audio is real and the practice works. All 100 days look like this.
Japanese is regular — one character, one sound, every time. Here are the five vowels everything is built from.
This is a real course, with the learning mechanics built in.
You learn the ~1,000 words that actually show up in real Japanese and the grammar that unlocks the most sentences — not textbook filler.
Every lesson tests you, and old words come back on a 1·3·7·16·35-day schedule — the science of not forgetting. A “word a day” skips this.
Native sentences, furigana, stroke order, and audio from the very first lesson. Kana from the start, never romaji you'll unlearn.
Three phases, each building on the last — sequenced for understanding, not test-cramming.
Read your first real sentences and ask simple questions. The system finally clicks.
Sentences flow together — including the clause structure that unlocks real reading.
Follow how people really talk, then learn from real content on your own.
None. Day 1 starts with the alphabet (kana). If you can read this sentence, you can start.
About 15 minutes — a short read plus a few minutes of recall practice. Miss a day? Tomorrow's still there.
The full 100-day course is free. Later there's an optional paid review system that adapts to your weak spots — but you never need it to finish.
No — and we won't pretend. 100 days gets you the on-ramp: the point where Japanese stops being noise and immersion finally starts working.
One short email a day. Free. Start whenever you're ready.
