Japanese vocabulary
Japanese words to keep, taught across kana and kanji instead of romaji-only lists.
Words that stick around
Japanese vocabulary has layers: a word in hiragana, the same word with kanji on top, and sometimes a katakana loanword doing the same job.
Our vocab hub keeps all three in view so you recognize words however they show up.
Themes cover food, travel, family, and the small talk that fills actual conversations.
Each entry comes with audio, because guessing pronunciation from kanji is a sport best avoided.
Learn the word in every outfit it wears.
