Pony: Japanese & English Live

Pony teaches Japanese by building on the Chinese and English you already know — kanji bridges to Chinese characters, katakana borrows straight from English. PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD Pony's app interface (menus, buttons, settings) is in Chinese. Every lesson card itself is bilingual — Japanese, romaji, English and Chinese side by side — but navigating the app requires reading Chinese. Pony is built for Chinese-English bilingual learners, not for English-only speakers. WHAT'S INSIDE • Real dialogues first — every lesson opens with an actual conversation (office, shopping, travel, dining, business trips, sightseeing), then teaches the grammar and words it just used • 18 chapters, 891 lessons — from your first self-introduction all the way to N3 topics like health, emergencies and social issues • Kanji bridges — Japanese kanji explained side by side with the Chinese characters you already read • Four-way breakdown — every sentence shows reading, romaji, English and Chinese translation together • Speaking practice — record yourself in Japanese or English and get instant pronunciation feedback, scored on your own device • Tap-to-hear kana chart — every hiragana and katakana character, one tap away, anytime • Kana learned in the background — there is no separate "kana course"; a few rows at the start of each chapter, used immediately, and you know all of them by the end of chapter 10 • Gentle ramp — chapter 1 introduces only 4 new words per lesson, easing up to 8 later on • Placement test + spaced review — start at your real level, review on a forgetting-curve schedule so it actually sticks Grammar and vocabulary span N5 through N3, with 9,000+ practice cards for listening, speaking, reading and writing. Vocabulary is taught with hand-drawn illustrations, and built-in neural-voice audio reads both the Japanese and the English. Speech recognition runs entirely on your phone — recordings are never uploaded or stored. The first two chapters are free. Unlock everything with a monthly or annual plan (7-day free trial on annual) or a one-time purchase. Turn the Chinese and English you already have into a shortcut to Japanese. Made by Roma Tech LLC.
