Description
Hey there! (•u•) Interested in learning Japanese but don't know where to start? You've come to the right place! MARU Japanese Kana, loved by over a million learners worldwide with an average rating of 4.9 (thank you so much!), is just what you need. As a lifelong learner of Japanese myself, I created this app to make Japanese alphabets less intimidating and more enjoyable. It's a simple app that focuses on one thing but does it very well: helping you start learning Japanese. I wish MARU had been around when I started learning Japanese. Lucky you!
Stop learning with those robotic voices and non-native pronunciations. That will impede your learning effectiveness. Dive in and experience authentic Japanese through exercises voiced by a professional voice actress. With 14 different practice varieties, learning Hiragana and Katakana becomes a breeze. Reading, writing, listening, typing, and even building your vocabulary – it's all here, making it the perfect start to your Japanese journey!
What's the catch? You’ll see an ad after every five mistakes. Since MARU's launch in 2017, it’s been downloaded over a million times, yet ad revenue has been modest. But that’s okay! My goal is to spread the joy of learning Japanese.
To fulfill that goal, I try to provide tremendous value for everyone and keep as little as possible behind the Pro Version.
Here’s what you’ll find in the default Free Version:
• All 105 Hiragana and Katakana characters, not just the basic ones.
• A short ad after 5 mistakes. No mistakes = No ads.
• Over 300 everyday words for practice, like "hello" and "thank you."
• Clear voice recordings for all words and characters.
• MARU-kun, our adorable mascot, greets and motivates you each time you practice.
• Date and Time that changes every minute to teach you Japanese words for numbers and calendar.
• A smart feature that identifies your weak spots and helps you improve.
• A fun way to practice Katakana using familiar Hiragana words.
My app is completely free with minimal ads, but if you choose to upgrade to the Pro Version (one-time purchase), you’ll enjoy:
• An ad-free experience.
• Offline practice, anytime, anywhere.
• Writing and typing exercises.
• Timed challenges to test yourself.
• Access to more words for time, date, and Katakana.
Don't just take my word for it. 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!" - A happy user
Thanks for reading! If you're interested, just download and start your Japanese learning adventure with MARU! (•u•)

Very helpful ♥️😍
Learning Nihongo is a bit hard but this app helped me to read every character and memorize vocabulary easily. Kudos to the developer.
Easy to use this app loveit !
Its so easy to use this app, you can easily learn some hiragana and katakana! Im so satisfied🫶🏻
Great supplementary app!
Great Supplementary app once you’ve learned hiragana and katana. To quiz yourself, so you don’t forget. I only had to watch one ad, for 5 mistakes.
Slay app
This app is really helpful, i memorized the hiragana alphabet in 2 hours, and it helps improve your reading 👍
KANA DRILL ♥️🥺
Thank you for making this app free. This is very helpful for everyone who really wants to learn Hiragana and katakana. ♥️ There’s no ad while you study, but when you made a mistake an ad will show up. So, study well to avoid ads. ☺️ By far the most helpful app.
👍
It's a very helpful app for a beginner like me :)
Great app for begginers
Highly recommended app for beginners,it is a fun way of familiarizing hiragana.you cant unlock levels if you’re not familiar with the ones that first to come! Good job! Thank you it helps me alot
It's like flash cards
For those who want to familiarize in a fun and challenging manner. It keeps track of which ones you're still not familiar with and which ones you often mistake. You can't learn new characters unless you've familiarized yourself with previously given ones so I really like this learning style. Plus it's a tap once only drill so you can't exactly cheat your way into checking the sounds of each choices first. Good thing it provides a full chart of each character so you can review what you learned too.
Relaxing while learning
I use this app to fall asleep. It engages my mind just enough to learn but let’s me focus on hiragana instead of worrying about tomorrow.
