Free forever

Access to knowledge shouldn't come at a price. Our language guide is free, and the tools we use and recommend are libre. The site runs entirely on donations from readers like you.

Mass immersion

Start doing All Japanese All the Time. Instead of buying courses or going to classes, we recommend that you learn Japanese through self-study by listening, watching and reading fun stuff.

Anki decks provided

Forget about forgetting. We believe spaced repetition is an excellent technique for learning vocabulary. We provide Anki decks to aid your immersion and help your learn faster.

Vibrant community

Remember, you're not solo in this journey. We have a large Japanese learning community where you can make friends, ask questions, get help from experienced learners, and find countless learning resources!
