Questions people actually ask
With no account: days 1 to 7 of the daily course, the first 3 days of every other course, every hiragana, katakana and kanji chart, all 831 vocabulary words, the grammar reference, the 19 situation guides, the review deck, the handwriting practice and the printable charts. With a free account, days 8 to 30 of the daily course as well, with your progress saved on every device. All of it free, no card.
Because there is nothing to buy yet. Free accounts are open; payment is still being built, and the paid half of the site opens when it is.
No, and there is no email box on this page. When the courses open they will simply be there, and nothing you do before then changes when you get in.
No. The free part stays free permanently. There is no clock on any of it, and nothing you can use today will be taken away and sold back to you later.
No. Monthly or once, nothing in between. An annual plan asks you to bet a year on a site you have used for ten minutes, and it mostly exists to make the monthly price look bad. If you want to commit, Lifetime is the honest version of that.
Everything on Learn Japanese Online Hub, for as long as the site exists, including every JLPT level as it is built. It does not include the other language sites in the network, because those are separate products with their own costs.
Any time, from Manage billing on your account page, without emailing anyone or giving a reason. Cancelling stops the next payment and you keep access to the end of the month you have paid for. No cancellation fee, no phone call, no retention offer.
Email us within 14 days of your first payment and you get your money back. We would rather refund you than have you paying for something you do not open. Read the refund policy.
