Read & Learn Japanese - Yomaru

Turn your scrolling into Japanese. Yomaru turns your daily study into a continuous, full-screen learning flow — glide smoothly through kanji introductions, guided stroke writing, vocabulary unlocks, and real sentences, with spaced repetition reviews woven right into your rhythm. Most apps drill kanji and vocabulary in isolation. Yomaru builds reading ability step by step: • Start at your level: Hiragana, katakana, or JLPT N5 to N1. Starting from zero, your first Japanese words, like ここ (here) and この (this), unlock within a few cards. • Kanji unlock words: You never meet a word before knowing its kanji. Learn 人 (person), and you immediately unlock 一人 (one person). • Words build sentences: Unlocked vocabulary comes together in real sentence-reading exercises, so you read whole sentences on your own. • Muscle memory that sticks: Guided finger tracing teaches stroke order and balance for every kanji. • Interleaved memory reviews: Smart spaced repetition (FSRS) schedules reviews right as you swipe, so what you learn stays in long-term memory. • Visible momentum: Hit your daily goal and track your study rhythm, JLPT milestones (N5 → N1), and newly discovered words on your Learn dashboard. READ REAL JAPANESE FROM DAY ONE When you're ready to read, Yomaru connects directly to the real world. Browse curated Japanese news, essays, and stories tagged by JLPT difficulty. Words you already know read clean; unfamiliar kanji show instant furigana; and any sentence can be translated on-device with a single tap.
