## What is Memoka?

Memoka is the perfect app to learn Japanese, using a proven method: flashcards. Every item is shown at the right time, following a logical order designed for natural, lasting progress.

5,000 learning items
Hiragana, katakana, kanji, and vocabulary — 5,000 carefully selected items to take you from zero to a solid level in Japanese.

Flashcards & spaced repetition
Every review is a flashcard. The spaced-repetition system makes sure you study each item at exactly the right moment — just before you'd forget it. And if life gets in the way, Memoka won't punish you for it: the app intelligently adjusts your review queue so you never come back to an overwhelming pile. Your pace is always respected.

A logical learning order
Memoka follows a structured path: hiragana and katakana first, then kanji and vocabulary in a progressive sequence. No artificial memorisation of kun yomi and on yomi readings — you learn kanji through real words, the natural way.

Every writing system covered
Memoka covers the full Japanese writing system:
• Hiragana & Katakana — the core syllabaries
• Kanji — essential characters, learned naturally through vocabulary
• Vocabulary — everyday words in meaningful contexts

Themed playlists
Explore over 25 playlists organised by topic: Food, Animals, Travel, Family, Science, and much more. Learn vocabulary that's actually useful in the contexts that matter to you.

Track your progress
See exactly where you stand for every item: Unknown, Learning, Known, or Mastered. Stay motivated and watch your progress grow day by day.

Free, with optional Memoka Plus
Start for free and access a wide catalogue of learning items at no cost. Memoka Plus unlocks even more content and features to go further — with a 7-day free trial, no commitment required.

Available in 5 languages
The interface is fully translated into English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Korean.

Start today — just a few minutes a day is all it takes to make real progress in Japanese with Memoka.
