## What is Scripts?

Learn a new writing system with Scripts app: 
Korean Hangul, Japanese Hiragana and Katakana , Chinese Hanzi, American Sign Language (ASL), Indian Devanagari, Russian Cyrillic and Latin alphabet

Drops Scripts takes the boring out of reading and writing in a new language. Learn Chinese characters, the Korean alphabet or the Japanese writing system with gorgeous minimalist illustrations and fast paced mini games. 

The best part? It only takes 5 minutes a day. In fact, that’s all the time you get! Insane? Yes. But does it work? Absolutely! 

Why Drops Scripts Works
 
• Drops Scripts is 100% visual: Learners connect the characters and letters directly to their pronunciation. Doing this cuts out the middleman. Learning is faster, better, and more fun!
• 5-minute session limits: Limiting learning time may sound counterintuitive but it makes Drops Scripts incredibly addictive. And that’s a good thing in terms of language learning.The obstacles standing in your way of finally starting to read and write in a new language are made obsolete.  No excuses: you ALWAYS have 5 minutes! 
• Effortless practice: We took a good look at why games are fun and addictive, and then integrated those elements into Drops Scripts to create an app that is incredibly immersive. But unlike other games, you don’t waste your time playing. Instead you build a valuable asset--the ability to read and write in a new language.
• Rapid pace learning: We believe in fast-paced, intuitive learning, and typing on your phone’s keyboard is anything but fast. Say hello to rapid swipes and taps! You’ll need those extra seconds to get the most out of your 5 minutes. ;)
• Writing focused: Learn to write in Chinese, Japanese or Korean with curated games and activities that make learning a new writing system fun. Drops Scripts focuses on one thing and it does it extremely well. 
• Forge a learning habit: Drops Scripts wants to convert you into a language learning addict. No matter how effective your learning tool is, if you don’t use it on a daily basis, it doesn’t really matter. Drops Scripts breaks down those barriers for you so that learning to read and write in a new language becomes a regular part of your day.

Every letter and character in Drops Scripts is accompanied by high-quality audio and pronunciations, recorded by professional voice talent.
 
Drops Scripts offer a complete package for free for casual learners: 5 minutes of blazingly fast and epic fun learning per day with more than 3 writing systems. More dedicated language learners can subscribe for premium features to achieve faster progress and unlimited learning time. 
 
• Our goal is to empower the people of the world with knowledge of a new language by providing a special tool that uses the universal language we all recognize: images.
 
 
P.S.: We take full responsibility for any potential addiction to language learning.

### 4/5 — Оценка приложения

*2026-02-19, version 8.60*

Лучшее приложение для изучения рукописи корейского языка,но есть нюанс. Проблема в том что буквы переводят только на английский,а не на язык который ты поставил,очень прошу исправить ведь я не понимаю что это за буквы,я просто запоминаю как они пишутся.

### 2/5 — Yeni alfabeler

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-01-25, version 8.60*

*2025-10-27, version 8.60*

### 1/5 — Notification avec de la pub et un peu d’utilité

*2025-10-01, version 8.60*

L’application te met déjà 18 pub en 5 minutes mais en plus, malgré le fait qu’elle te demande quand te notifier pour ton entraînement quotidien, elle te balance 30 notifications en une journée… c’est pas une application c’est un spam. J’ai désinstallé, pas le temps pour ces machins là.

Scripts by Drops is thrilled to introduce ASL as the latest addition to the alphabets and writing systems you can learn with the app in celebration of the UN Sponsored International Day of Sign Languages. 

ASL, or American Sign Language, is a language used by as many as 500,000 people in the United States and Anglophone Canada. And it's one of the most taught languages after Spanish, French, and English. If you're interested in learning ASL, learning to sign the alphabet is the perfect way to introduce yourself to the language and gain the ability to start communicating right away.
