What you get

Everything your Japanese needs, in one place

Unlimited conversation in Japanese

Talk as long and as often as you like, on up to five topics you choose. No minutes, no credits, no slot to book, no lesson to wait for.

Corrections that become your lesson

Grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation corrected while you speak, one at a time. Keep the ones that matter and discard the rest; after class they come back as feedback, a writing exercise and reading and video suggestions.

Flashcards and six review games

Built from the mistakes you actually made in Japanese, not from a generic word list. They update themselves after every class.

Targeted Practice for real situations

Rehearse one situation from start to finish in Japanese: an interview, a booking, an appointment, or the phone call you have been putting off.

About Japanese

What Japanese asks of you

Japanese uses three scripts — hiragana, katakana and kanji — and levels of politeness that change the verb depending on who you are speaking to. You do not have to wait until you can read: you can start speaking on day one, with subtitles and translations for as long as you need them. Rhythm and pitch come from listening and being corrected.
