Learn to read and write Japanese from zero — hiragana and katakana — in short sessions you can fit into any part of your day.
Aigaku is built for the beginner who has quit before: not dull memorisation, but focused practice that knows exactly which characters you keep getting wrong.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✍️ HANDWRITING PRACTICE THAT CORRECTS YOU
Write each kana with your finger and get your stroke order graded instantly — starting point, direction, and shape. Slip up and you are corrected on the spot, not left guessing. This is how Japanese children learn to write, and it is what sets Aigaku apart from flashcard apps.
🎯 QUIZZES THAT TARGET YOUR WEAK SPOTS
Every answer is tracked. Characters you miss most start appearing more often, so your study time is not wasted repeating what you already know.
📖 COMPLETE CHARTS + AUDIO
Gojūon, dakuten, handakuten and yōon — all included. Every character comes with its reading, a real everyday example word, and native pronunciation audio.
🔥 STREAKS & A RANK LADDER
Climb 11 ranks from 新米 (Shinmai, the Newcomer) to 仙人 (Sennin, the Sage). Daily streaks and a gentle reminder keep your momentum going.
🌏 TWO LANGUAGES
English and Indonesian interface — including the example word meanings. Switch any time with one tap in your profile.
⚡ LIGHT AND READY TO GO
Every character, audio clip and stroke-order path ships inside the app — no extra download, no waiting around.
