Choose your level and topic for AI exercises, feedback and follow-up questions.
Look inside a sentence
Paste Japanese, split words on your device and open the dictionary with a tap.

01 / MAKE A START
Practice that meets
you where you are.
Start with a guided beginner lesson, or create an AI practice set from a topic you care about. Everyday situations, grammar you keep forgetting, a hobby you want to talk about — make it relevant to you.
A path for beginners
Short explanations, examples and practice give you a next step. Return to your guided lessons and keep progress when you change levels.
Your level, your topic
Choose Beginner 1, Beginner 2, Beginner 3, Upper intermediate or Advanced for AI practice. Change your level whenever you need to. Guided beginner lessons and AI practice have different scopes.
Feedback you can ask about
Try an answer, read the feedback and ask a follow-up in the same exercise. For a separate Japanese question, open Chat.
02 / LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER
A sentence becomes
something you understand.
Paste Japanese into Explore to see its words and particles. Tap an expression for a reading and dictionary meaning, or ask AI to explain the sentence in context.
- On-device word analysis without an AI generation
- AI explanations, translation and word-split suggestions
- Adjust the word boundaries yourself
- Turn the sentence into new AI practice
03 / HEAR IT. KEEP IT.
From an unfamiliar word
to your own collection.
Listen to a word, one sentence or a whole passage with Microsoft-powered Japanese read-aloud. Save useful words, sentences and kanji as you go.
- Readings, dictionary meanings and your own notes
- Edit the meaning to fit the context
- Review saved expressions in the app
- Export text for Anki, CSV or JSON — no audio included

CLEAR FROM THE START
What your daily use includes.
New practice sets, AI assessments, explanations and chats share this allowance. Dictionary lookups and on-device word analysis do not use it.
A word uses 1 point. Sentences and passages use points by length. Replaying audio uses no points while it is still cached, for up to 30 minutes.
Both reset at midnight Japan time, with no carryover. AI can pause before the daily limit because personal and shared rolling 30-day cost limits also apply. Daily reset does not reset those limits. Non-AI lessons and saved items remain available. Limits, recovery and support →
BEFORE YOU START
A few useful things to know.
Can I start if I am new to Japanese?
Yes. Choose “No kana yet” for introductory scenes, then use the guided beginner path as you learn. Hiragana and katakana introductory resources are on Junichiro’s official site. Higher AI practice levels are not a claim of complete authored JLPT courses at every level.
Does this include lessons with Junichiro?
No. This membership is for the self-study app. Live lessons, personal tutoring and voice conversation are separate; private lessons with Junichiro are taught in English. Weekly Study Pack adds a reusable PDF for your completed week: a review, mini lesson, exercises and answers. Optional email links are available in Account; delivery is paced on Monday and Tuesday, subject to service and cost limits.
How should I use the AI explanations?
Use them to explore and practise. AI questions, explanations and feedback can contain mistakes; they are not all individually reviewed by Junichiro. You can report a problem from the app.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Open the app in a browser on your phone or computer and sign in with your own Google account. An internet connection is needed for AI, saved data and new read-aloud audio.
What happens if I cancel?
Cancel in Account → Manage or cancel membership. Cancellation stops future renewals; access normally continues until the end of your paid period. Saved expressions are retained until you delete them. Viewing and reviewing them in the app requires an active membership. See refunds and cancellation for details.
