KanaDaruma: Learn Japanese

Build a Japanese reading foundation that sticks. Premium opens every lesson, word, and Situation from day one. KanaDaruma takes complete beginners from hiragana and katakana to useful starter vocabulary through short, focused lessons. Hear each sound, recognize its shape, recall it before revealing the answer, and revisit mistakes after a helpful pause. BUILD YOUR KANA FOUNDATION • Study hiragana and katakana in structured groups • Hear consistent offline Japanese audio • Practice recognition, listening, recall, and tracing • Review confusing sounds and shapes at the right time MOVE INTO USEFUL WORDS • Build practical vocabulary for travel and daily life • Explore airports, restaurants, shopping, directions, and emergencies • Keep every kana and word you learn in your personal library PRACTICE REAL SITUATIONS • Choose your replies in branching roleplays: restaurants, convenience stores, stations, hotels, clothing shops, taxis, directions, pharmacies, and more • Try Guided mode when you want help or Challenge when you want to rely on recall • See the other person react to your answer, then continue the story • Play the bundled scenes, dialogue, and audio offline WRITE ON PAPER Listen to individual kana you've learned, write each one on paper, and photograph the page for an optional five-part Daruma Score. The score is friendly practice feedback, not a calligraphy certification. Core lessons and Situations work offline; photo scoring requires an internet connection.
