一歩Ippo
For iPhone · coming soon to the App Store

Next stop: N5.

Ippo (一歩いっぽ, “one step”) is a Japanese course from your very first kana to the JLPT N5. Short lessons, kanji you write by hand, and reviews timed to your memory.

One email when Ippo is in the App Store, and maybe an invite to try the beta first. Nothing else, and you can unsubscribe in one click. How we handle your email.

The line from あ to N5

  1. KanaHiragana and katakana, until you read them without thinking.
  2. Twelve N5 unitsEach one a station: lessons, homework and a unit test that stamps your ticket.
  3. Kanji and words that stayPicture stories, stroke order you trace, and reviews that come back just before you'd forget.
  4. Mock JLPT N5A full practice exam at the end of the line, so you know you're ready.

Kana and the first three units are free. N4 and N3 come after launch. No ads, no hearts, no tracking.
