About this app

Ippo (一歩, "one step") is not a Japanese course: it's a travel companion. It keeps what you need at the start always at hand, and it's the notebook where you write down what you find important, whatever path you follow.

YOUR NOTEBOOK
Add your own words, rules and notes to any category, next to ours. Create your own categories, add the kanji you study, hide what you don't need, sort and reorder everything your way.

CHEAT SHEET
Fifteen categories, from greetings to particles, です, polite verbs, common verbs, adjectives, connectors and time words. Each one with a short explanation, romaji and translated examples.

HIRAGANA AND KATAKANA
The complete tables, with romaji, and everyday words written in katakana.

KANJI
Readings, meaning and a common word for the first kanji, plus the ones you add.

LISTEN
Tap any Japanese text, yours included, to hear it read by your phone's Japanese voice.

FLASHCARDS
One deck for each category, your entries included. Wrong cards come back a little later.

SEARCH EVERYWHERE
Type Japanese, romaji, English or Italian.

FREE AND PRO
Everything above is free, with 5 additions to try your notebook. Ippo Pro, a one-time purchase, makes additions unlimited. Coming to Pro at no extra cost: backup and sync on your Google Drive.

PRIVATE
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your notes stay on your phone.

Available in English and Italian. The content is written for beginners and has not yet been reviewed by a native speaker: if you spot a mistake, write to feedback@learnippo.com.
