Master the artof Japanese.
A learning experience built for those who value craft over gamification. Precision, intuition, and silent mastery — from your first stroke to N1.
Four movements,
one fluency.
We replaced the textbook with a cinematic curriculum. Every concept is anchored in real Japan — its streets, its silences, its rituals. You don't study the language. You inhabit it.
Observe
Native context first. Each lesson opens with film, ambient audio, and signage from real Tokyo — not flashcards.
Imitate
Stroke-order intelligence guides your hand. Pressure and rhythm are scored against master calligraphers.
Speak
Live AI conversations adapt to your vocabulary. Pitch accent feedback in real time, no judgement.
Internalize
Spaced repetition tuned to your forgetting curve. Knowledge becomes intuition, not recall.
From first stroke
to silent mastery.
Foundation
Hiragana, katakana, 100 essential kanji. Order coffee, read menus, introduce yourself with grace.
Daily Life
Past, conditional, casual register. Hold conversations about hobbies, travel, work.
The Bridge
● Most students start hereHonorifics, complex grammar. The moment learners typically quit — we make it the moment you accelerate.
Professional
Read newspapers, watch films without subtitles, work in a Japanese office.
Mastery
Literary fluency. Read Murakami in the original, debate philosophy, write essays.
500+ practitioners.
One language.
“The interface is so quiet, the learning becomes invisible. The first app that respects the gravity of the language.”
“I left Duolingo after three years of stagnation. In four months I passed N3. The difference is reverence.”
“The stroke engine taught me what no teacher had — that writing kanji is choreography, not memorization.”
Three thresholds.
One commitment.
