Japanese from zero to the real thing, one guided path
Each sentence in the Core course has exactly one new word and only grammar you have already seen, so it is always understandable, never a wall.
78 short plain-English lessons appear inside your study session the moment the next sentences use them, and you can read ahead any time.
Each card returns just before you would forget it, so reviews take minutes and not hours.
On Netflix, YouTube and Prime Video, every subtitle word is marked by how well you know it, with furigana only on the words you do not know yet.

Free AI study partner that turns your course material into practice questions, guides and flashcards
Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, images, MP4, MP3, notes or a YouTube link and get study material generated from it — over 90 supported file types.
Thea asks you questions drawn from your own course content instead of revealing answers, so learning happens through active retrieval.
The system tracks what you know and what you do not, then focuses your sessions on the material you have not yet mastered.
Per-kit progress views let you see coverage and weak spots as an exam approaches.
