Potto Japan vs LORIKO

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.

Learn a new language the way humans are meant to — by listening first! LORIKO is a hands-free language learning app designed for busy people who want to reach fluency without flashcards, games, and quizzes. With over 160 downloadable audio lessons across 16 languages, LORIKO lets you learn while multitasking — washing the dishes, walking the dog, commuting, or working out. How does it work? Each lesson is delivered line-by-line: • First, you hear the sentence in your native language • Then, the same line is repeated in your study language • The transcript appears on screen and is read in sync with the audio This proven listen-first approach mirrors how babies learn language — through sound first, then text. Each lesson can be adjusted to match your fluency level: • Slow down the speaking speed • Increase the number of times each line of the study language is repeated • Add pauses after each line to practice speaking out loud Learn anywhere, anytime: • Fully downloadable lessons • Save and track your progress on multiple devices • Access all downloaded lessons offline • Listen 100% hands-free or follow along with the text to learn spelling and grammar Designed for real life: Most language apps rely on flashcards, games, and quizzes that demand your full attention. Who has time for that? Because our lessons are pre-recorded, LORIKO doesn’t rely on live interactions or AI chatbots. There’s no awkward voice recognition, no guessing what to ask next, and no frustration when your phone misunderstands you. Instead, you simply listen, absorb, and speak when you’re ready.
