## What is Simply Japanese?

Speak Japanese from your very first lesson. Simply Japanese teaches 1,800 real-life sentences through 180 short everyday conversations, so you learn Japanese the way people actually use it.

Most apps teach isolated words. This one teaches you what to say. Every lesson is a natural 10-line dialogue set in a real situation: greeting a coworker, ordering food, taking the train, making plans with friends. You listen, repeat and speak until the sentences feel like your own.

SIX QUICK STEPS IN EVERY LESSON
• Real Conversation: listen to each line and shadow it, word by word
• Vocabulary: learn the words from the dialogue and save them to your decks
• Dictation: type what you hear
• Memorizing: flip through the lines until they stick
• Pronunciation: record yourself and get a score for every phrase
• Translation: turn English back into Japanese

READ KANJI WITH CONFIDENCE
• Furigana over every kanji, with romaji and word-by-word meanings
• Turn furigana and romaji off as you improve
• English translation for every line

WHAT'S INSIDE
• 180 conversation lessons across three levels: A1, A2 and B1
• 1,800 sentences you can use right away
• Core 2K: nearly 2,000 essential Japanese words in bite-size decks
• Flashcard review that brings words back just before you forget them
• An AI conversation partner for role-plays, with gentle corrections
• Daily goals, streaks and progress you can see

PERFECT FOR
• Complete beginners who want to start speaking Japanese
• Travelers getting ready for a trip to Japan
• Anime and drama fans who want to understand more
• Learners who know some words but freeze in real conversation
