Learn Together vs Nihongo Master Kana Coach

The perfect bilingual learners app for kids and caregivers. Learn Together plays voice for ABCs, 123s, basic words, and animals for English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Japanese. Screens are colorful with fun animations without being overly stimulating for kids or too annoying for caregivers.

Hiragana and katakana are the front door to Japanese - and Kana Coach gets you through it. Professor Toshiro teaches every character the way Japanese schoolchildren learn them: row by row, stroke by stroke, with your eyes, ears, hand, and voice all doing the work. LEARN, ROW BY ROW Each lesson introduces five kana that share a sound. Hear native-quality audio, watch each character draw itself in real stroke order, then trace it yourself with instant feedback. Pass the row quiz and the next row unlocks. REVIEWS THAT REMEMBER FOR YOU A spaced-repetition system brings each kana back at just the right moment - reading, writing, and listening. A few minutes a day keeps everything sharp, and gentle reminders (optional) tell you when reviews are ready. SAY REAL WORDS OUT LOUD Every row you master unlocks real Japanese words you can now read - あき (autumn), くるま (car). Hear them spoken by two native-quality voices, then say them aloud: on-device speech recognition checks your pronunciation and awards stars. Your Word Book grows with you. DRILL THE TRICKY PAIRS シ/ツ, ソ/ン, ね/れ/わ - the lookalikes every learner mixes up get their own targeted drills. PRACTICE ON PAPER Printable practice sheets for every kana - print or share straight from the app and practice handwriting the traditional way. WORKS COMPLETELY OFFLINE Lessons, audio, reviews, sheets: everything is on your device. Study on the train, on a plane, anywhere. FREE TO LEARN The full curriculum is free, supported by unobtrusive ads - never during writing or speaking practice. One small purchase removes ads forever. Kana Coach is made by Nihongo Master, the Japanese learning platform. When you've mastered kana, your journey continues with full lessons, grammar, kanji, and a community of learners at nihongomaster.com.
