About Hirameki Japanese: Speak Fast
Built for beginners and travelers who want to speak Japanese fast: shadowing, listening practice, JLPT N5–N3 words and hiragana/katakana in one app. Hirameki Japanese turns the English in your head into natural Japanese you can actually say - with furigana and romaji on everything, so you can read it and say it. START FROM ZERO - Learn Kana: full hiragana and katakana charts (basic, voiced and combined sounds). Tap any character to hear it. - Two quiz modes: see romaji and pick the kana, or see kana and pick the sound. BUILD VOCABULARY - 1,100+ flashcards across Beginner (JLPT N5), Intermediate (JLPT N4) and Advanced (JLPT N3), each with an example sentence. - Themed sets: numbers, greetings, food, drinks, family, body, colors, days, time, places, weather, shopping, verbs, adjectives. - Furigana (kana reading) and romaji on every card. Sort with "Got it" / "Not yet"; a quick 4-choice quiz appears every 10 cards; review only what you haven't learned. SPEAK AND LISTEN - Shadowing: short passages from beginner to advanced - listen to a line, then repeat it in the pause. - Listening: books play continuously, even with the screen off, with lock-screen controls. - Natural Japanese text-to-speech with adjustable speed. SAY IT NOW - Type English and get natural Japanese instantly, with furigana, romaji, audio and a word-by-word breakdown. - Conversation mode: you speak English, the other person speaks Japanese - both sides are translated and read aloud. Free and unlimited. - Camera translate: photograph a Japanese sign or menu and get the English. - Save phrases and review them anytime. PRIVATE AND SIMPLE - No ads. No account. Your saved phrases and progress stay on your device. - Translation and speech use Apple's on-device technology; download the English and Japanese packs in Settings > Apps > Translate to use them offline. FREE AND UNLOCK - Free: all kana charts and quizzes, conversation mode, the first 40 beginner words, 2 themed sets, one shadowing and one listening book, 5 translations a day, and saved phrases. - "Unlock everything" (one-time purchase, no subscription): all flashcards, all books and unlimited translation. If you bought Remove Ads in an earlier version, everything is unlocked for you automatically. Built for travelers in Japan and anyone learning Japanese from scratch.
