## What is Bebop?

Bebop is for learning Japanese from real Japanese: podcasts, news and short lessons, with every word one tap away.

LISTEN WITH A TEACHER
While a podcast plays, Bebop stops at words you probably don't know yet. A teacher explains the word in simple Japanese, gives the English, and the line plays again in the speaker's own voice. It skips the words it knows you know, and you can mark any word as known.

READ ALONG
More than 2,200 podcast episodes have transcripts that follow the audio word by word. Tap a word to see its reading and meaning, and what it means in that sentence. Slow the audio down, or pause after each phrase and say it back.

TEACHER RADIO
Nearly 1,000 short audio lessons, each teaching one common word with examples you can follow.

NEWS AT YOUR LEVEL
Short news stories about Japan written for each JLPT level from N5 to N1, with the share of words you already know shown for each one.

SAVE SENTENCES AND REVIEW THEM
Mine any sentence from a podcast or story. It becomes a review card with the word's reading, its meaning and the line it came from, and Bebop schedules your reviews.

SEE WHAT YOU KNOW
A quick word check estimates how many words you know. Bebop counts your listening and reading time, the words you meet, and your progress towards a weekly goal.

ALSO
- A Japanese–English dictionary you can search in Japanese, romaji or English
- A Home Screen and Lock Screen widget with a word to learn
- Your reviews, saved sentences and progress sync to your account

Bebop is free. You sign in with your email address; there is no password.
