About this app

A cute, ad-free, and enjoyable learning experience is waiting for you in the Renshuu community! The free version is unlimited: there’s no timer before you are forced to pay!

★ A path for every learning style and every goal ★
Whether you are getting started with the alphabets or have been studying for years, jump in exactly where you belong! Don’t waste time going through what you already know.

Renshuu maintains learning paths for most textbooks, the JLPT, Kanji Kentei, and for those who just want to learn. You can also carve out your own path! Our community has over 10,000 user-made lessons for even more focused learning.

★ Cute, relaxing, and fun ★
Our mascot Kao-chan is here to let you enjoy learning Japanese, whether it’s through collectible coins every time you quiz, a character that evolves as you learn, manga pages that you unlock, or hundreds of hand-made illustrations.

Additionally, we have both single and multiplayer games to help you keep your learning and reviewing fresh!

★ Personal service ★
We are just a two-person company - and we don’t use chat bots. That means that every question you have gets an answer directly from us.

★ Rich, in-depth materials ★
■ Vocabulary: over 15,000 native-recorded audio files, 17,000 hand-picked images, and 160,000 example sentences make understanding vocabulary a breeze. Our growing library of accent/pitch data can even help you with accent reduction.
■ Kanji: 12,000+ kanji, with no limits on what you can study! Over 2,000 colorful mnemonics help you to understand and retain the meanings.
■ Grammar: Over 800 different expressions, each complete with native-written model sentences, construction diagrams, audio, and over 7,500 hand-made quiz questions.
■ Sentences: Thousands of sentences complete with audio, divided by theme and difficulty levels.

★ A superior quiz system designed around Japanese ★
Our SRS-for-Japanese system doesn’t treat Japanese materials like flashcards to be memorized, and breaks every item down into individual components so you can understand, and not just memorize. Mastery schedules keep you studying only what you need to, pushing weaker materials to the front for you to focus on.

Dozens of different question styles keep things fresh, while a flexible input system (multiple choice, typing, or writing) lets you answer the way that you want to.

★ Customizable down to the last character ★
Renshuu doesn’t believe that there is a single way of studying that everyone should adhere to. Our expansive settings and customizations let you adjust the learning environment to what works best for you.

Ratings and reviews

i have been using this to get back into learning Japanese, and it's the first thing I have stuck with for a really long time. it is really easy to learn at your own speed, all the quizzes are very adjustable to your needs. the garden element is fun and further encourages study, and i can tell my japanese is improving using this! this is also helped me understand the grammar better. it is worth checking out if you want to learn japanese or are trying to get back into it.

honestly the best Japanese learning app I've used, learning on this app is not only fun it's actually informative. When you get something wrong it'll explain what you did wrong in detail to help you improve. I've used it for less than a week and it has helped me gain huge insights into both formal and casual sentence structuring at my level. I would highly recommend you give this app a try if you're dedicated to learning Japanese.

this is the most consistent I've been in trying to learn a language! this is a pretty comprehensive app. obviously, you'll need to supplement (as if most methods), but it explains things clearly and if you're still confused, the community is amazing. my only gripe is that the grammar sections either don't include conjugation tips, or they aren't easily searchable/easily missed.
