Course · 90 days

Everyday Japanese in 90 days.

One short lesson a day. Each one explains why the Japanese works the way it does, then quizzes you.

Days 1 to 30 are open now, free and with no account. The paid plans are being built, so days 31 to 90 are not reachable yet. All 90 days are written and are being checked by a native speaker before they open.

Finished a few days? The word games play every word from day 1 up to whichever day you pick.
