Five new words a day.
Remember them for good.
A few minutes a day is all it takes. Here's how a session works.
Get your own plan
A short welcome quiz asks why you're learning, your level and how much time you have. Asobi builds a plan: the level you can reach, by when, and how many words you'll know.
Learn five new words
Each card shows the kanji, reading, romaji, meaning, audio and a real example sentence. Swipe right if you know it, or left to see it again.
A quick quiz locks them in
Pick the meaning, or pick the word you heard. For kana, match the character to its sound.
Smart reviews
Words come back right before you'd forget them, using FSRS, a modern spaced-repetition method. Easy words come back less often, hard words sooner.
Learn the Japanese words you'll actually hear
Start with hiragana as a complete beginner, or jump straight to your JLPT level. Study one topic at a time, or use free practice, which never changes your review schedule.
Hiragana and katakana
104 characters each, including the dakuten forms, with practice for every row.
JLPT N5 to N1
About 7,800 words, grouped by topic. N5 starts with the 12 essential greetings.

Travel, food and drink, anime and manga, family and friends, work, shopping and daily life.
