Learn Japanese through authentic podcasts and YouTube videos with interactive transcripts and instant word lookups. An AI sensei explains grammar, and saved moments become flashcards for spaced repetition review.

August 6, 2026
Word cards just got richer. Tap any word — in transcripts, in your saved words, or in dictionary search — to see the real sentences it appears in across our shows and hear them spoken, now with furigana over the kanji. Each card also shows synonyms: related words, how they differ, and when to use each. Plus a fix: words you saved from YouTube now correctly show where you saved them.
Moreありがとうございます! 🙏 Shadowing with podcasts and YouTube videos is exactly what we hoped Wakatta would unlock — so glad faster Japanese is starting to click. More features coming soon. Keep it up! 🎧
