## What is Kitsugo?

Learn Japanese the structured way — from your first hiragana character to passing the JLPT. Kitsugo turns Japanese study into clear, bite-sized lessons you can actually finish, whether you're a complete beginner or working toward N3.

WHY KITSUGO
Most apps teach you scattered words. Kitsugo teaches you a language. Every course is built around the JLPT syllabus and blends vocabulary, kanji, grammar, reading, and listening — so the pieces connect instead of piling up.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• 17 structured courses — 4 free to start, following the official JLPT levels
• JLPT N5, N4 & N3 — full coverage across vocabulary, kanji, grammar, reading & listening
• 2,800+ vocabulary words — food, family, work, travel, and everyday life
• 600+ kanji — readings, meanings, and the words that use them
• 300+ grammar points — with 450+ real example sentences
• Complete hiragana & katakana — learn the kana from scratch with tap-to-hear audio
• 170+ listening exercises — natural spoken Japanese, not robotic text-to-speech
• 40+ reading passages — build fluency at your level
• 240+ practice questions — JLPT-style quizzes that show you exactly what to review
• Built-in Japanese dictionary — look up any word or reading without leaving the app
• Furigana support & native pronunciation — reading help and audio on every word
• Progress tracking — earn XP, complete sections, and keep your streak alive

BUILT FOR REAL PROGRESS
Kitsugo is designed around finishing, not just opening the app. Short sections give you a clear goal each session, quizzes make new words stick, and every course moves you measurably closer to the next JLPT level.

WHO IT'S FOR
• Absolute beginners starting with hiragana and katakana
• Self-studiers who want a clear path instead of guesswork
• JLPT candidates preparing for N5, N4, or N3
• Travelers, anime and manga fans, and anyone who loves Japanese
