Subjects
Nine Learning Sections, Taught Bilingually
Structured lessons that build real understanding, paced for young learners — every word and lesson pairs Japanese with English.
Write Hiragana — All 46 Characters
A guided tracing board with real stroke-order data for every Hiragana character, showing the correct sequence and direction for each stroke.
Hiragana Alphabet
A dedicated reading lesson covering all 46 vowels and consonants, each with native audio, so children can recognize every character before they trace it.
Learn Words
95 words across 12 topics — animals, body parts, colors, family, feelings, fruits, manners, nature, numbers, occupations, vegetables, and vehicles — each with native Japanese audio.
Sentences
40 sentences with build-the-sentence and meaning drills, feeding Practice levels 6 through 8, so children move from words to short sentences.
General Knowledge — Including Japan
76 lessons across eight levels in three tracks: a Japan track (All About Japan, Cities & Landmarks, Long Ago in Japan), a world track (planet and maps, continents and oceans, countries and capitals, landmarks), and Great Inventions.
Math
Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division — four topics of six guided steps each, with bilingual instructions.
Science
45 lessons across five levels — weather and seasons, nature, the life cycle, food chains, and space — explained simply and built up level by level.
Computers
53 lessons across five levels covering how computers work, online safety, and AI literacy — digital literacy, not coding.
English
A dedicated English subject across four levels — letters A–I, J–R, S–Z, and first words — so bilingual practice runs both ways.
Play & Practice
Learn Through Play
Creative and playful activities that reinforce every subject, built for kids to enjoy on their own.
123 tap-to-fill coloring pages plus dotted-guide tracing drawings — no mess, just a finger and a screen.
8 illustrated stories, perfect for a calm, screen-time-friendly wind-down.
A playful library of 34 everyday sound effects across 6 categories — animals, nature, vehicles, music, home, and people. Free in full.
A gentle matching game pairing 16 baby animals with their parents, for the youngest learners.
8 leveled practice games from Beginner to Author — levels 1 to 5 drill words, levels 6 to 8 move on to sentences.
Lessons and activities work without an internet connection — great for trips or screen-time-limited zones.
For Families
Built With Parents in Mind
Tools that help parents guide, support, and celebrate their child's progress.
Parent Dashboard
See daily streaks, a 7-day activity view, weekly play-time goals, and exactly which topics your child has completed — all behind a parent gate.
Multiple Child Profiles
Set up a separate profile for each child, so siblings each learn at their own pace with their own progress and streaks.
Bilingual by Design
Every subject pairs Japanese with English text and native Japanese audio, so parents who don't speak Japanese can still follow and help.
Home Screen Widget & Reminders
An iOS home screen widget shows the current streak at a glance, and optional daily reminders help build a consistent habit.
Read It and Write It
Hiragana is taught two ways — a reading lesson with audio, and a stroke-order tracing board — so recognition and handwriting build together.
No Ads, Ever
Not "ad-light" — zero ads, no third-party tracking, and no chat or social features of any kind.
