Learn Japanese, start to fluent.
Gramaru is one structured path from not knowing あ from 鬱 all the way to native media with the best spaced repetition anywhere, and none of the gamified fluff that leaves you unable to actually speak.
THREE TRACKS, ONE PATH
Most apps only teach you to pass a test. Gramaru runs three tracks in parallel so you get tested skill and real fluency:
• JLPT path : N5 to N1, the trusted backbone. Kanji, grammar, and vocab in a clear order so you always know what's next.
• Real-life frequency : the high-use everyday words the JLPT skips. Close the gap that leaves textbook learners stuck.
• Slang & spoken : contractions, casual register, and the words people actually say, so you sound natural, not stiff.
SPACED REPETITION THAT BEATS ANKI
Every card is scheduled with FSRS, a modern memory model that predicts exactly when you're about to forget so you review less and remember more. Kana, vocabulary, and kanji all live in one smart queue instead of scattered decks you have to manage yourself.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• Complete hiragana & katakana, including dakuten and handakuten
• A full kanji curriculum from N5 through N1
• Grammar and vocabulary in true learning order, not alphabetical lists
• Streaks and progress tracking so you can see mastery build day by day
• Cloud sync - sign in once and your progress follows you across every device
FREE TO START
Learn hiragana and katakana completely free, with up to 100 reviews a day on the same FSRS engine that powers the full app. Upgrade to Pro whenever you're ready for the full N5–N1 path, unlimited daily reviews, and the frequency and slang tracks.
No ads. No streak-shaming. No filler. Just a clear path from zero to fluent.
