Description

Master Japanese step by step — from your first hiragana letter to real conversations. NihonGo isn't just a flashcard app. It's a complete Japanese course, built for the parts of the language generic apps skim over.

Whether you're here for anime, manga, J-pop, JLPT prep, Tokyo travel, or heritage reasons — NihonGo meets you at your level and walks you through the tricky parts with clarity.

A COMPLETE JAPANESE COURSE
• Structured unit-by-unit curriculum — beginner to conversational

• Per-unit guidebooks with grammar notes and culture tips
• 100% offline — zero data use, learn on the train

JAPANESE-SPECIFIC, NOT GENERIC

• Kanji root explorer — high-frequency kanji + the words built from them
• Keigo explorer — 敬語 in casual, polite, respectful, and humble side by side

WHO IT'S FOR
• Absolute beginners — start from こんにちは

• Travelers — restaurant, train, and shopping phrases you'll use
• JLPT N5 and N4 candidates
• Heritage learners reconnecting with the language

NihonGo is free to start. A Pro subscription unlocks JLPT packs, kanji roots, premium SmartPacks, and unlimited custom decks — but the core curriculum, kana, keigo, wasei-eigo, daily practice, and streak system stay free forever.
