"I study Japanese at school. Every day I read a book." — tap to see details.
Read manga. Understand Japanese news. Watch shows without subtitles. The secret isn't studying harder, it's the right order: the exact path Japanese children have followed for over 100 years. Every lesson is built for your level, so you actually read from the very first one. No flashcards, no cramming.
… then you're not alone. These are the 3 familiar pains for almost every Japanese learner pushing past N4.
Flashcards work short-term but lack context. Skip a week and they're gone. You start over from scratch — an endless loop with no way out.
Want to read real Japanese material? The very first sentence already has 3–4 kanji you've never seen. Looking each one up takes 30 minutes per paragraph. Motivation drops on page one.
There's no clear roadmap. By radical? By frequency? By JLPT level? Every textbook teaches a different way, and the more you study the more confused you get. You need an order that's actually been proven.
Most apps teach you about Japanese. KanjiSchool gets you reading Japanese from your very first lesson, even if you only know 10 characters. This isn't an order someone made up: it's the path the entire nation of Japan has learned to read for over a century. We keep that proven path and quietly drop the hardest part: the writing drills and rote memorization. Every story and news article is written using exactly the kanji you already know: no unfamiliar characters, no sentences over your head. The content grows with you, not the other way around.
Every story contains only kanji you've already learned. You read fluently from the very first sentence — not because it's easy, but because you're ready for it.
The same article from today, in 6 versions across 6 levels. Complete beginners and N3 learners read the same real content — no one is left behind, and no one is bored.
Every new kanji you learn lets you read more. You never finish a course only to start over with new material — it's all already here, waiting for you to grow into it.
Not the biggest app. The right-sized one — nothing missing, nothing bloated.
Quickly look up meaning and examples. Lookups in one second.
60+ short stories written for each grade. With a parallel translation you can toggle on or off.
Built-in Kyoko Enhanced voice. Play the full story, sentence by sentence, with a male/female toggle. No Google Translate needed.
10 random questions after each story. Kanji → meaning or meaning → kanji. Quick, fun, effective.
Daily streak, completion % per grade, your accuracy. Seeing yourself improve is the biggest motivator of all.
Vietnamese · English · Japanese · Chinese · Korean. Learn in your native language, or switch to Japanese for full immersion.
No complicated signup. No far-off goals. Just start now.
Just starting out? Grade 1. Around N4? Grades 3–4. Prepping for N3? Grades 5–6. You decide — no fixed roadmap forced on you.
Each story is 200–400 characters. Toggle the translation when you need it. Tap a kanji for its meaning. Have the AI read it aloud if you like.
Lock in the kanji you just learned. Got one wrong? No problem — retry as many times as you like. Your streak still counts.
Start free. Upgrade when you see the value, cancel anytime. The Founder Lifetime plan has only 437/500 spots left: once they're gone, this price disappears for good.

It will — as long as you already know Hiragana and Katakana. KanjiSchool focuses 100% on kanji and doesn't teach the two basic kana. Don't know them yet? Learn the kana first, then come back — it takes about a week.
You learn through real content — Japanese stories and news — not flashcards. The content automatically matches your exact level, from day one. And it's 4–5× cheaper.
Yes. You can skip grades 1–3 and start at 4–5. Or breeze through the lower grades as "review" — you'll be surprised how many kanji you thought you knew but are actually still fuzzy on.
KanjiSchool is currently a PWA (web app) — it runs in the browser and installs like a native app on iOS/Android. An app-store version is on the roadmap.
There are 2 modes: Offline voice — uses the voice built into your device, no internet, saves data. Online voice — needs a connection and sounds noticeably more natural and expressive. Free uses the offline voice. Premium unlocks the online voice too.
Go to Settings → Subscription → Cancel. 1 click. No email request, no reason required. You keep access until the end of your billing period.
Visa / Mastercard / Amex via Lemon Squeezy — our international payment partner. Prices include VAT, no hidden fees. You receive an electronic invoice by email right after payment.
Yes. Pay once, use it forever — including when grades 7–12 launch later. This is a Founder offer, limited to 500 spots — once they're gone, or once the product is complete, the Lifetime price goes up. Buying now locks in the original price.
Switch between the Monthly and Yearly plans right in the app (Settings or the Pricing page) — the difference is prorated automatically, with no need to pay again. Upgrading to Lifetime: just buy Lifetime and your old recurring plan stops automatically, with no further charges.
The app interface supports 5 languages: Vietnamese, English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean. Story translations are currently in Vietnamese + English — Chinese/Korean are on the roadmap.
Every day you keep grinding flashcards is a day you forget more. The first lesson takes just 3 minutes, no credit card required.
