日本語を学ぼう
Learn Japanese the easy way: just watch
No teachers, no exercises, no grammar tables. Native speakers from Japan tell stories in Japanese that you understand. You do not need to read Japanese to start.
Before you read
Understand first, read later
Japanese uses three writing systems. You do not need any of them to start. Our hosts use pictures, gestures and objects to make each story clear.
Standard Japanese
All hosts speak standard Japanese, the variety of TV, schools and most of the country.
1000+ videos
Pictures, not translations
Hosts draw and point at objects. You understand each story in Japanese, not through your own language.
Read when you are ready
We recommend that you watch without subtitles. When you want to read, turn on subtitles in Japanese.
