Japanese (日本語) is spoken by about 125 million people, mostly in Japan. This starter pack introduces kana and the most useful words and phrases — a first taste of the language, not a full course.

Full course

This language now has a free course. A real, authored Japanese course: 6 lessons, a practice lab, a topic quiz and a review deck — all running on the same engines as Hindi. It is not yet as deep as the Hindi course, and all audio is your browser's computer voice, never a native recording.

Full course — still growing. Japanese now has lessons, practice, a quiz and a review deck — but it is younger than the Hindi course and has no recorded audio. See the course.
