Memoka is the perfect app to learn Japanese, using a proven method: flashcards. Every item is shown at the right time, following a logical order designed for natural, lasting progress.

5,000 learning items
Hiragana, katakana, kanji, and vocabulary — 5,000 carefully selected items to take you from zero to a solid level in Japanese.

Flashcards & spaced repetition
Every review is a flashcard. The spaced-repetition system makes sure you study each item at exactly the right moment — just before you'd forget it. And if life gets in the way, Memoka won't punish you for it: the app intelligently adjusts your review queue so you never come back to an overwhelming pile. Your pace is always respected.

A logical learning order
Memoka follows a structured path: hiragana and katakana first, then kanji and vocabulary in a progressive sequence. No artificial memorisation of kun yomi and on yomi readings — you learn kanji through real words, the natural way.

• Hiragana & Katakana — the core syllabaries
• Kanji — essential characters, learned naturally through vocabulary
• Vocabulary — everyday words in meaningful contexts
