## What is Japanese Hero?

Japanese Hero helps you learn real, spoken Japanese — not just the stiff, formal phrases most textbooks teach.

Start with Hiragana and Katakana, the two phonetic alphabets every Japanese learner needs first. Once you know your kana, move into JLPT vocabulary from N5 all the way to N1, with kanji built in from the start.

WHY JAPANESE HERO

• Smart spaced repetition — a modern scheduling algorithm (FSRS) shows you each word right before you'd forget it, so your study time actually counts.
• Real example sentences — every word comes with a natural, everyday sentence, not an artificial textbook example.
• Native pronunciation — listen to real audio for many words as you learn.
• Kanji, explored — tap any kanji to see every word that uses it and how it's read.
• A clear learning order — hiragana, then katakana, then JLPT vocabulary, so you're never guessing what to study next.
• Track your progress — streaks, a study calendar, and stats that show what's actually working.
• No ads, no clutter — just a focused way to build real Japanese ability, one card at a time.

Whether you're starting from zero or working through JLPT N5–N1, Japanese Hero is built to get you speaking and reading Japanese the way it's actually used.
