PUCHI vs Nihongo Rush

Speak your first Japanese words today. PUCHI turns Japanese into a few happy minutes a day. Tap a word, hear it out loud, say it back, and a fluffy little study buddy cheers you on. No grammar drills, no overwhelm, just the words you will actually use. SAY IT, AND PUCHI LISTENS Every lesson ends with you speaking. Say the word, then the polite sentence, and speech recognition checks your pronunciation as you talk, with the live transcript right on screen. Get it right and Puchi celebrates with you. 2,060 WORDS YOU WILL ACTUALLY HEAR 25 themed chapters and 103 bite-size lessons take you from hai and arigatou through food, travel, work, feelings and city life. Twenty words a lesson, so you always finish what you start. HEAR IT IN A VOICE YOU LIKE Every word plays out loud in a natural Japanese voice, woman or man, your choice. Hiragana and romaji sit right under the word so you are never left guessing. Slow the audio down when a word ties your tongue in knots. SEE HOW IT IS REALLY USED Every single word comes with two example sentences, one casual and one polite, so you learn when to say it, not just what it means. A QUIZ THAT KNOWS WHAT YOU FORGET Smart Review comes back every day with the words you have studied and quietly gives extra practice to the ones you keep missing, until they turn into your strong points. Questions alternate between typing and speaking, so you train reading and pronunciation together. Type in hiragana or romaji, whichever you are ready for. A REASON TO COME BACK TOMORROW Set a daily goal, build a streak, and finish the day's mission to feed your puppy a treat. It is a small thing. It is also why you will still be here next month. LOOK ANYTHING UP Search all 2,060 words in Japanese or English, star your favorites, and watch vocabulary learned, quizzes taken and mastery climb on your profile. STUDY ANYWHERE Words, examples and audio all live inside the app, so a subway tunnel or a long flight is no problem. No account, no sign-up. Free to download. Built for absolute beginners, and designed with love by a small Japanese-led team.

Learn Japanese like it's the best arcade game in town. Nihongo Rush turns vocabulary into short runs on the train line from Tokyo to Fukuoka: answer fast, keep the combo alive, catch the EXPRESS, and come back speaking. Hachi, the shiba station master, rides with you. HOW A RUN WORKS Every run is six legs of quick questions with a bonus station between them. Right answers build your combo and multiply your score; wrong ones cost a heart. Catch the EXPRESS at combo 20, grab a golden ticket for x5, choose your train at the fork (LOCAL, RAPID or MYSTERY), and finish with a bonus spin. BONUS STATIONS • MATCH — pair Japanese with English against the clock • LISTEN — no romaji, just your ears • CROSSING — tap the right sign as the words roll by • IZAKAYA — customers order in Japanese, you serve the right dish REAL JAPANESE, SPOKEN ALOUD • Six cities, 48 districts, 325 packs — each one a pattern plus five words • About 1,600 words and 1,500+ example sentences covering JLPT N5 and N4 • Every word and sentence is voiced; LISTEN stations train your ear • Build sentences tile by tile from the words you already know • Romaji on or off; hiragana and katakana packs for beginners LEARNING THAT STICKS Words you got right come back a little later, and later again, until they are learned. Words you struggle with come back sooner. Your Cards collection shows what you have met and what you have mastered, district by district. DAILY RHYTHM Daily quests, achievements and a streak. One run a day adds up; a reminder from Hachi at the time you pick, if you want one. NIHONGO RUSH PRO The whole app is one subscription: monthly, or yearly with a 7-day free trial.
