Lesson 0001 · Read your first kana

Try the first kana lesson

1. The map

Kana are sound signs, not decoration.

First you learn the six signs. Then you cover the guide and pull the sound from memory. That is what makes the check feel earned.

Learn the set あ い う See the target kana before any quiz starts.
Read a word うん。 Use the same signs in one tiny real phrase.
Retrieve ? Answer from memory, then get the win.
2. Your first kana

Study these six, then scroll to practice.

The first five are the base vowel sounds. The last one, ん, lets you read your first small word.

Listen first:

あ い う え お ん

Kana Audio Romaji Memory note
a Like ah, short and steady.
i Like ee, short and steady.
u Like oo, but relax the lips.
e Clean, not English ay.
o Like oh, short and steady.
n A light nasal ending.
3. Tiny reading win
うん。

First reading win: casual "yeah." You can read it after the first six kana.

4. Retrieval practice

Now answer without the guide.

Choose the sound from memory. A correct answer reveals the note.

Anime phrase quick wins

Practice phrases you hear in anime, written only in kana.

Japanese first

Tried Duolingo and still cannot read or hear Japanese? This is for you.

This is for you if

  • You paid for a Japanese app, class, tutor, or course in the last 12 months.
  • You still freeze when kana, manga bubbles, subtitles, or simple phrases show up.
  • You want small interactive lessons that make one thing click at a time.
  • You can commit 45-60 focused minutes per day for all 7 days this week.

This is not for you if

  • You want to casually browse without daily practice.
  • You want a generic chatbot instead of structured lessons.
  • You want a language other than Japanese right now.
  • You do not want to say what felt confusing after each lesson.

How it works

7 days. 15-minute calls. Tailored lessons.

Start with a 15-minute Google call.

We talk through your level, goals, learning style, and where Japanese breaks down for you.

Get one focused lesson plan per day.

Each plan teaches one small thing clearly, then turns it into practice you can actually complete.

Practice, answer, and send feedback.

You tell me what clicked, what dragged, and what you need next.

The next lesson is tailored from that feedback.

I use the previous lesson and previous day to build the next plan around your goals and learning style.

What you get each day

A focused Japanese lesson plan, not an infinite exercise feed.

One clear target

Each day has a small win, like reading a kana row, recognizing a subtitle chunk, or using a phrase.

Interactive practice

You answer from memory so you can see what is actually sticking.

Audio where useful

Listening support is added when pronunciation or recognition matters.

Tomorrow adapts

What confused you today shapes the next lesson instead of disappearing.

Different from apps and tutors

Lessons are hand-tailored to each student, one day at a time.

The usual approach

  • Apps keep you tapping, but the lesson may not match what blocks you.
  • Tutors help with sequencing, but they are expensive and scheduled.
  • Chatbots are flexible, but they often leave you deciding what to do next.

Your 7-day Japanese plan

  • One serious lesson per day, built around your goal and yesterday's result.
  • Your next lesson uses your feedback instead of starting over.
  • A concrete “can I use this?” check at the end of the week.

FAQ

Common questions

Who is this for?

It is for serious Japanese learners who can practice this week and want a focused plan around kana, anime, manga, travel, or conversation.

Is this just chatting with an AI bot?

No. You get structured lesson plans, practice, audio when useful, and a daily check-in that shapes what comes next.

Why focus only on Japanese now?

Because this version is built around Japanese examples, calls, and lessons. More languages can come later.

What if I am busy?

You need 45-60 focused minutes per day for all 7 days. If this week is not the right week, join the waitlist and come back for the next opening.

What happens after I pay?

You will get my email, my phone number, and a calendar invite for a Google Meet call so we can set up your first lesson.
