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.
