Start with hiragana, katakana and greetings, move on to everyday conversation, then tackle news and business Japanese. Every course can be started from day one, and mastery tiers from Bronze to Legend keep you reviewing.
Pick the meaning, listen and choose, spell with kana tiles, build kana from row, vowel and voicing mark, put phrases in order, fill in the blank and match pairs. Anything you miss comes back at the end of the lesson.
Answer before the timer runs out to defeat bosses, then take a breather with Memory Cards and True or False Rush. Finish a chapter to earn a badge and bonus coins.
Hear words and sentences read by your device's Japanese text-to-speech voice. Turn on slow playback or auto-play, and train your ear in listening practice.
Listen to lines you might hear in anime and Japanese dramas, repeat after Haru, then quiz yourself. The lines are newly written for learning, not quotes from real shows.
Search the words you've learned by Japanese, kana, romaji or meaning, and review just the ones you got wrong. There's also a daily chest, a learning streak and outfits for Haru bought with coins you earn.
Learn new words in lessons, then prove them in games and boss battles. From the Platinum tier on, romaji is hidden.
Haru Japanese has no accounts, and progress such as stars, coins and your mistake notebook is stored only on your device. The internet is used only to load a rewarded ad when you choose to watch one, and the app asks for no permissions like camera, microphone or location.
