About Potto Japan

Potto is one account for learning Japanese and living in Japan: thirteen apps that share your level, your progress and your language, on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and the web, in 95 interface languages. LEARN JAPANESE, N5 TO N1 20,873 learnables cover vocabulary, grammar and kanji across every JLPT level. Each entry carries readings, senses, pitch accent, etymology and keigo registers, cross-checked against reference dictionaries with citations. Kanji show radicals, stroke counts and the readings that actually appear in words. 1,376 lessons and 97 journeys turn those entries into a path: take the placement test, get a level, and follow the next lesson the app puts in front of you. Flashcards, questions and 564 counters fill the gaps a textbook skips, like which word to use at the register. PLAY YOUR WAY TO FLUENCY Shiritori against the app in Japanese or English, with a fifteen-second clock and every word you play scored. Crosswords, quizzes and a counter game that runs with no account at all. COOK FROM THE SOURCE Recipes painted in mineral pigment on washi, each with the numbers a cook needs: servings, prep and cook time, difficulty, metric, US and Japanese measures. Cooking mode reads one step at a time with timers running and voice control for messy hands. A growing calendar shows what to sow and harvest in your climate zone this month, and a shopping list and pantry follow your recipes. PLAY THE MUSIC Sheet music engraved in the app with the kana under every note, playback, score and part views. UNDERSTAND THE COUNTRY 6,945 history entities, from eras and people to the dishes and words that came with them, linked back to the learnables they explain. Places, geography and the stories behind them. GET REAL HELP The Legal app explains Japan's five legal licences and what each may do for you, so you know who to ask. Counselors and interpreters are a message away for the moments a dictionary cannot handle, from city hall paperwork to a doctor's visit. Examinations give you JLPT-style practice and school entrance preparation. MADE FOR LIFE IN JAPAN Every screen is available in 95 languages, downloaded once and kept on your device. Switch accounts for family members. Your progress, level and language follow you across devices. Potto is built in Etajima, Hiroshima, by people who live here. Start free, take the placement test, and keep whichever apps you use.

What’s new

Version 2.0.59 · Updated October 21, 2026

Talk to anyone, in any language. Potto 2.0.59 brings live translation to your chats and a real-time interpreter to your sessions, plus a brand new School app for sixth-grade math. What's New - Chat translation: Messages in a language you do not speak now arrive translated, right in the bubble. Tap Translate to or Re-translate to switch languages on the fly, and set the languages you are learning so Potto knows when to show you the original alongside the translation. - Live interpreter: Join a counseling session or call with someone who speaks a different language and let the interpreter listen, translate and speak for both sides in real time. A transcript card keeps the conversation in both languages so you can review it afterwards. - Potto School (Grade 6 Math): A complete practice-to-mastery math course. Ask for a hint when you are stuck, get a clear explanation after every right answer, and tap 筆算で見る to see the long-form working. Print worksheets, scan your handwritten answers with the camera for instant grading, and ask the teacher when a problem still does not make sense. - Family accounts: Parents can link their children, invite a co-guardian, and follow each child's progress from the new School Home. Child seats and Parents plans make it easy for the whole family to learn together. - A better Languages page: Browse by Most common, By region, A to Z or Recent, search any language, and see at a glance which ones are downloaded. Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Urdu now display right-to-left throughout the app, and Croatian and Slovenian join the interface languages. - Recipes in your language: Every dish, ingredient and cooking step in the Food app is now translated in all 41 store languages, and learnable pages read in your language too. - Character conversations: Practice Japanese with Gemini-powered characters in a new speech studio, Japanese first. - Smoother navigation: A new bottom bar with a built-in app switcher, each app's own Home, an in-app viewer for chat files and attachments, and a photo lightbox that swipes through every image in a thread. - Session tickets on the invoice: Use a ticket pack directly from the invoice, pay by email, or buy a pack on someone else's behalf. Bug Fixes - The user search field no longer lost the name you typed on some Android phones. Thank you to everyone who reported this. - Languages you downloaded on purpose stay downloaded and are never swept away by the cache. - The Languages page retries if the first load could not reach the server, instead of showing a short list all session. - Fixed a freeze on the Recipes page after switching languages. - Chat drafts now stay with the account they were written in when you switch accounts. - The drawer header is reachable again on phones with a notch. - Back swipe and drawer swipe no longer fight each other, and Android gesture navigation works as expected. Every one of these came from your feedback, so keep it coming. Update now and say hello in any language.
