About Glosaire – Learn Japanese
Build the Japanese foundation that makes immersion work. Glosaire gives you a structured Beginner Path, level-matched short stories, and tools for learning from real Japanese video. Start with practical lessons, then move into the content you want to understand—with support when you need it and less dependence on translation over time. FOLLOW A PATH INTO REAL JAPANESE Work through practical lessons that build toward reading, listening, and producing Japanese. The Beginner Path includes kana checkpoints and optional stories, so structured study leads naturally into immersion. The first three Beginner Path lessons are available free. Basic unlocks one new lesson each day. Premium opens the full path immediately, including later production and speaking exercises. Current access and payment terms are always shown before enrollment. READ SHORT STORIES AT YOUR LEVEL Explore short Japanese stories recommended for your level. Tap words to look them up, reveal sentence meaning and explanation when needed, and track your reading progress. Selected stories also appear as optional steps within the Beginner Path. LEARN FROM REAL JAPANESE VIDEO Watch Japanese YouTube videos with interactive, color-coded subtitles. Tap a word without leaving the video to see its reading, meaning in context, and an explanation of the sentence. SAVE THE MOMENT, NOT JUST THE WORD Track vocabulary from the scene where you found it. Glosaire keeps the sentence and source context attached, then lets that vocabulary resurface across new videos as Encounters. PRACTICE WHAT YOU LEARNED Review with flashcards, cloze, pair matching, listening, kanji and kana recognition, sentence building, and speaking. Production exercises ask you to write Japanese from memory and can return a grade, corrections, and focused guidance. Some practice modes and feedback require Premium and an internet connection. CHOOSE INPUT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND Browse a curated Japanese video library organized by level, topic, and pace. Per-video comprehension scores and vocabulary coverage help you choose what to watch next. SEE YOUR JAPANESE GROW Follow words from new to mastered, track activity, and see your vocabulary grow across lessons, stories, videos, and review. Glosaire is for learners who want both direction and immersion: a clear place to start, real Japanese to grow into, and a retention loop that keeps new language from disappearing. Learn. Read. Watch. Understand. Save. Practice. Re-encounter. On desktop, the Glosaire browser extension brings interactive learning tools to supported video sites. The iOS app focuses on the Beginner Path, stories, Japanese YouTube videos, and mobile practice.
