A Japanese language adventure

Meet Japan and its language

Japanese uses kana, simple everyday words and a gentle rhythm. Start with friendly beginner vocabulary and build confidence step by step.

Three scripts, one page

Japanese can mix hiragana, katakana and kanji in one sentence, giving the writing system a unique look.

Small words do big work

Tiny particles such as は and を help show how words fit together, like signposts inside a sentence.

Seasons in everyday life

Cherry blossoms, autumn leaves and seasonal foods make Japan's calendar feel vivid and memorable.

Old and modern together

Shrines, manga, bullet trains and tiny convenience stores all give Japanese learners things to recognise.
