About

Potto is one account for learning Japanese and living in Japan: thirteen apps that share your level, your progress and your language, on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and the web, in 95 interface languages. LEARN JAPANESE, N5 TO N1 20,873 learnables cover vocabulary, grammar and kanji across every JLPT level. Each entry carries readings, senses, pitch accent, etymology and keigo registers, cross-checked against reference dictionaries with citations. Kanji show radicals, stroke counts and the readings that actually appear in words. 1,376 lessons and 97 journeys turn those entries into a path: take the placement test, get a level, and follow the next lesson the app puts in front of you. Flashcards, questions and 564 counters fill the gaps a textbook skips, like which word to use at the register. PLAY YOUR WAY TO FLUENCY Shiritori against the app in Japanese or English, with a fifteen-second clock and every word you play scored. Crosswords, quizzes and a counter game that runs with no account at all. COOK FROM THE SOURCE Recipes painted in mineral pigment on washi, each with the numbers a cook needs: servings, prep and cook time, difficulty, metric, US and Japanese measures. Cooking mode reads one step at a time with timers running and voice control for messy hands. A growing calendar shows what to sow and harvest in your climate zone this month, and a shopping list and pantry follow your recipes. PLAY THE MUSIC Sheet music engraved in the app with the kana under every note, playback, score and part views. UNDERSTAND THE COUNTRY 6,945 history entities, from eras and people to the dishes and words that came with them, linked back to the learnables they explain. Places, geography and the stories behind them. GET REAL HELP The Legal app explains Japan's five legal licences and what each may do for you, so you know who to ask. Counselors and interpreters are a message away for the moments a dictionary cannot handle, from city hall paperwork to a doctor's visit. Examinations give you JLPT-style practice and school entrance preparation. MADE FOR LIFE IN JAPAN Every screen is available in 95 languages, downloaded once and kept on your device. Switch accounts for family members. Your progress, level and language follow you across devices. Potto is built in Etajima, Hiroshima, by people who live here. Start free, take the placement test, and keep whichever apps you use.

What's New in Potto Japan

2.0.152

November 4, 2026

Potto 2.0.152 is here: a writing coach for your real conversations, live translation in chat, and a whole new School app for families. What's New - Communication Coaching: Paste a message or share a screenshot and Potto helps you write a natural reply in Japanese. It explains what the other person meant, suggests the right level of politeness, and drafts a reply in your own name that you can edit before sending. - Chat in any language: Messages in mixed-language chats can now be translated right in the conversation, with Translate to and Re-translate options. You can also set the languages you are learning. A new live interpreter helps when you are talking face to face. - Potto School: Practice-to-mastery math for 6th grade, with step-by-step worked solutions, hints when you ask for them, more than one way to solve word problems, and printable worksheets you can scan back in for review. Parents plans and child seats let the whole family learn together. - Aibou, your guide: Your in-app assistant is now called Aibou. Ask it to book a session and it prepares a reservation for you to confirm in one tap. It can also put together prep notes before a session. - Give a gift: Send session packs to someone else. They accept with one tap, and the gift stays open for a full year. Improvements and Fixes - Smarter word lookups based on the exact vocabulary in front of you, saved in both languages - Watch the tour and Show me how cards that walk you through features inside the app - Reminders in your provider chat before a ticket pack expires - Emails now block remote images and trackers by default for better privacy - Fixed duplicate assistant chats and made downloaded languages stay available offline - Many stability, speed and translation improvements across the app Many of these features came straight from your feedback. Thank you for telling us what you need. Keep the ideas coming, and enjoy learning with Potto!
