Do lessons use romaji?
No. Japanese is shown the way it’s really written, and every word lights up as it’s spoken, so you link the sound to the writing from day one. English sits right below each sentence.
Can I start if I can’t read Japanese yet?
Yes. Start at A1, follow the highlight with your ears first, and tap any word to hear it again. The writing becomes familiar the more you see it.
What level should I start at?
Six steps, A1 to C2. Not sure? Start one step lower; you can remake any lesson easier or harder. See the levels.
