About KanaMastery

KanaMastery is a gym for Japanese practice: short, scored sessions for kana, words and kanji, from your first あ to JLPT N1.

What you'll find

Programs that take you from kana to N1 a chapter at a time, Smart Review to bring back what you're about to forget, a daily challenge, weekly leagues, Japan quizzes, and quizzes people build and share.

The free plan has all the kana, every Japan quiz, and the first chapter and the placement test of every program, and the first 7 chapters of JLPT N5 (100 words and 20 kanji). New accounts get 14 days of everything; KanaMember keeps it, from €5.99 a month.

Where the Japanese comes from

Readings, meanings, example sentences and stroke orders come from open dictionaries and corpora (JMdict, KANJIDIC2, Tatoeba, KanjiVG and others), never written from memory. Each one is credited, with its licence, on Attributions.

Get in touch

Questions, a problem, an idea: use the contact form, or write to support@kanamastery.com. In a game, “Report a problem” sends us the exact question.

Kana is free.

Start with the kana program's first chapter: each new kana comes with its sound. Your streak starts with your first session.
