About this app

LEARN LESS BUT LEARN EFFICIENTLY!


Just studying with HeyJapan for 1 hour and continuously for 2 months, you will see the difference!
>> Take 40 minutes every day to learn basic Japanese words, basic grammar, and phrases, and practice listening, speaking. Spend 20 minutes revising the entire lesson.
At the weekend, review all the basic words and phrases you learned during the week, and earn good badges from HeyJapan!
In particular, the application will remind you to study every day, and at the same time show you the secrets of learning Japanese effectively.

Learning the Japanese alphabet is the first step you need to take to conquer this interesting language.


The English writing system uses the Latin alphabet, while Japanese is hieroglyphic. Therefore, English speakers who start to learn Japanese are surprised and quickly lose their motivation to learn from the beginning. HeyJapan helps beginners to understand the basic Japanese alphabet.

👉Just Japanese

Everything looks great and sounds good. And the interface is clear and the options are good, work up the difficulty by just using japanese kanji and hiragana instead of romaji. Edit: I didn't give it a 5 star because of speaking exercises not recognizing anything. Now the app uses the Google translate voice to text which makes things 100% easier. Every speech to text that I had to use worked perfectly. Now 5 star rating! Great job in the improvements :)

This game may not look proffesional because of it's logo but it's the best app I have found for learning Japanese ! and I'm self studying Japanese for 2 years now. This is even better than Duolingo, believe me. They break it down slowly starting with Kana then going to verbs. I love this app so much because it explains the verbs/Kanji to me perfectly and I, as a European, struggle a lot with Kanji. It contains speaking exercises AND writing exercises. I recommend this for everyone teens& adults.

pretty fun so far (day 2) however some features don't work such as when I'm trying to trace the Japanese letter for "o" I swear I'm doing it correctly but the system doesn't register it. Also, the UI is cute but takes some getting used to- I am using Duolingo at the same time and it has been easier to start on there. However this app has a 1-time purchase for lifetime access, which seems more worth it.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you’re enjoying the app. Sorry about the issue with tracing "o"—we’re working on improving sensitivity for better accuracy.
