Writing & Pronunciation

Start reading Japanese with kana, the gojuon chart, and pronunciation.

Learn step by step

Make sense of the gojuon chart, connect hiragana with katakana, and start reading short words instead of memorizing the chart only in order.

Writing & Pronunciation

Learn what the two dots and small circle do, compare hiragana and katakana, and practice the sound distinctions inside familiar Japanese words.

Writing & Pronunciation

Read combinations such as きゃ and しゅ as one beat, compare hiragana with katakana, and hear why びょういん and びよういん are different words.

Writing & Pronunciation

See how hiragana carries words, particles, and verb endings, then build a practice routine that connects each shape with a sound and a useful word.

Writing & Pronunciation

Start with familiar words such as コーヒー and テレビ, then learn to notice long-vowel marks, small kana, and easily confused character shapes.

Writing & Pronunciation

Learn what ruby readings tell you, how they differ from romaji and okurigana, and when to use them as support while reading Japanese.
