## What is Learn Japanese?

Learn Japanese with free lessons daily. Let Mondly teach you the Japanese language quickly and effectively. In just minutes you’ll start memorizing core Japanese words, form sentences, learn to speak Japanese phrases and take part in conversations. Fun Japanese lessons improve your vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation like no other language learning method. Beginner or advanced learner, traveler or business professional with a tight schedule? The app works great and dynamically adjusts to your needs.

Explore language exercises for reading, listening, writing and speaking enhanced with a dictionary, verb conjugator and state-of-the-art speech recognition technology - you’ll feel like having your own Japanese language tutor in your pocket.

▶ The secret path to language learning
Remember the Japanese language classes in school? You started with hundreds of basic words and expressions, continued with tons of Japanese grammar lessons and at the end of a full semester’s language course you could barely translate a sentence or say “Hello!” to a foreigner. That’s the traditional way to learn a language.
Mondly has a different approach, that’s opposite to the average language course.

Here are the key features that make Mondly a great tutor for you:

• Crystal-clear audio and professional voice actors. Learn the right Japanese pronunciation from conversations between native speakers.

• Useful phrases for real situations. Memorizing hundreds of isolated words is not the way to go when it comes to learning Japanese. Mondly teaches you Japanese vocabulary by offering you core words and phrases. The app breaks the learning process down into short lessons and puts them into themed packs.

• Learn conversational Japanese. Conversation is the main reason to take this free course. It will help you build a core Japanese vocabulary with widely-used nouns and verbs, and speak Japanese clearly.

• Verb conjugations. If you want to learn more during this course, just tap the Japanese verbs and get the full conjugation on the screen, including the translation. It’s faster and better than a dictionary.

• Advanced Statistics. The App uses intelligent reporting, so you can always follow your progress. Build your vocabulary step by step and become better daily.

• The Leaderboard. See how your friends are doing and compete with people from all over the world to become the best learner in the Mondly community family. Take the Weekly Quiz to become even better.

Before you know it, at the end of these Japanese lessons, you will master the most useful 5000 words and phrases and you will be on the fast lane to learning a new language.

### 1/5 — Speaking

*2025-12-11, version 7.1.13*

I’ve just tried it have only tried the speaking role play so I have a problem with the roleplay it wishes to set the pace and when I try to say my own stuff it says to speak slowly and also there’s false speaking’s like “father” and “mother” father is actually supposed to be “otousan” and mother “kasan” mean while in the app it said chichi and haha this is stupid

### 4/5 — Aprendiendo Japonés

*2025-09-16, version 7.1.13*

Es una aplicación divertida aunque muy difíciles las frases que ponen para principiantes y con poca ayuda. Estaría bueno poder saber el significado de la palabra oprimiendo en ella.  Solo sirve cuando la palabra está subrayada 
Me gustaría que para principiantes enseñaran lo más básico para poderse comunicar. Pero es una buena aplicación

### 4/5 — Güzel

*2025-08-13, version 7.1.13*

Oldukça öğretici

### 2/5 — Inscription ne fonctionne pas

*2025-06-14, version 7.1.13*

Impossible de s’inscrire sur l’app pour sauvegarder mes résultats.

### 5/5 — Mir gefällt sehr den App

*2025-05-04, version 7.1.13*

### 5/5 — Học tiếng Nhật hữu ích

*2025-03-23, version 7.1.13*

### 4/5 — Hihihaha

*2025-02-23, version 7.1.13*

Okay 👌

### 5/5 — perfeito

*2024-10-18*

amei

### 3/5 — Keine Erklärung mancher Wörter

*2024-06-26, version 7.1.13*

Ich finde es schade, dass man einfach irgendwelche Sätze ohne vorherige Erklärung mancher Vokabeln erraten bzw. sogar schreiben soll/ muss. Man erhält keine Wörter oder Satzstrukturen erklärt (beim Japanischlernen)

### 5/5 — Excelente!

*2024-04-28, version 7.1.13*

Es un vocabulario activo al que puedes acceder en cualquier parte y a cualquier hora. Puedes también copiar los kanjis en tu cuaderno de estudio (muy recomendable) y poco a poco y de manera imperceptible practicar la audición e interpretación del idioma japonés y de su entonación.
Disfrútalo!
