Hey there! Want to learn Japanese? MARU Japanese Kana, used by over 1 million learners around the world, is just the right tool for you. It's a small but mighty app I created to make Japanese alphabets less scary and more fun! I did such an awesome job that I wish MARU was around when I started learning Japanese. Seems like I'm not the only one, looking at all the fantastic reviews! Jump right in and get the real Japanese vibe from a professional voice actress in a ton of exercises. There are 14 different fun practices that make learning Hiragana and Katakana as easy as pie. Reading, writing, listening, typing, and even boosting your vocab - it's all here. A perfect start to your Japanese adventure! About those ads: only a teeny-tiny bit. You'll see an ad only after five mistakes. Since MARU was born in 2017, it's been downloaded over a million times, but I've hardly made any money with ads. No sweat, though! This is all about spreading the joy of learning Japanese! What's inside: • 105 Hiragana and Katakana characters, even the fancy sounds and combos. • Over 300 everyday words (like ""hello"" and ""thank you"") for practice. • Super clear voice recordings for all words and characters. • MARU-kun, our adorable mascot, welcomes you every time you practice. • A clever feature that spots your struggles and helps manage your progress. • A fun way to practice Katakana with Hiragana words you already know. It's totally free, but if you want to upgrade, here's what you get: • A peaceful, ad-free experience. • Practice offline, anytime, anywhere. • Try your hand at writing and typing. • Test yourself with timed exercises. • Unlock even more words for time, date, and Katakana. Here's one of my favorite reviews: "This is MY #1 app for learning Japanese. I downloaded EVERY Japanese app I could find without paying a single dime. The app does exactly what it promises - nice graphics, great voice acting, and awesome practice methods. I'm in love with this awesome app!" - someone who's also very awesome Wow! I can't believe you finished reading all this. You must be very interested by now. Just download and start learning already!
Beautiful & Easy!
This app is so fun! Thank you for creating something helpful from the start 🙏🏼 I am an American English-speaker who is moving to Japan and this helped me establish my confidence in the beginning of learning Hiragana & Katana!

Great app for learning Japanese
This all is very good at teaching the meanings of all the characters in Japanese I am currently working on hirigana and I know so much more then I would learn on apps like duolingo if you are trying to learn Japanese I highly recommend it.
Learning hiragana
For a free app, this is pretty useful when paired with duolingo. I need more practice and find the drills helpful.
Great app!
I’ve been really enjoying the app. I like the combination of practicing reading, listening, writing, and typing.
Great for vocab if not paying
I really like that this app supplies vocab with the kana, not just the syllables themselves. Really helps!!!
Great learning tool
Very intuitive to use and pronunciation is helpful for learning quickly. Word examples give relatable sounds to the letters.
