Our tools will help you learn and refine your Japanese speaking, reading and writing:

Learn kanji

Read, write and remember the kanji

Here is where neuroscience meets kanji. Japanese characters are introduced at a pace that suits you, and you’re exposed, tested and drilled until you’ve mastered not only the character, but also its reading, stroke order and meaning. Our advanced algorithms remind you of kanji that need work, and don’t let you waste your time on material you already know. Discover the science behind Kanji academy.

“LinguaLift has rekindled my love for Japan and the Japanese language. I tried to self-learn with books but never got very far. LinguaLift is fun, engaging and keeps me on track.”
— Harriet Lowes (University of Oxford student)
