Why learners choose HeyJapan?
For beginners, Japanese often comes with a few familiar hurdles: an unfamiliar alphabet, shaky pronunciation, overwhelming kanji, and the feeling of learning Japanese for months without ever really speaking. HeyJapan understands this and builds every feature to remove those roadblocks - so you don't just memorize, you truly learn Japanese and speak it

Key features
- In-depth Hiragana & Katakana - Master the full alphabet with spaced repetition, native audio, and demonstration videos
- Learn to speak Japanese through anime dubbing - Dub your favorite characters and get instant scoring and pronunciation feedback, so your progress is easy to see
- 1,500+ topic-based vocabulary words - Each word comes with example sentences, images, and audio; a smart review system helps you remember longer.
- Build lessons around what you love - Anime, travel, food... or any topic of your own, complete with vocabulary, sample sentences, and relevant conversations
- Stroke-order writing practice - Write each character in the correct stroke order to remember its shape and write more beautifully
- Systematic Kanji & grammar - Learn kanji by meaning and reading; grammar is split into small lessons with short, clear explanations

With HeyJapan, you can
- Say your first Japanese sentences in your very first week
- Handle basic conversations with confidence on a trip to Japan
- Watch your favorite anime without subtitles
- Understand Japanese culture more deeply with every lesson

We're always here to help and to listen. HeyJapan works hard to deliver quality Japanese lessons, but bugs are sometimes unavoidable - we'd love your feedback to keep making the app better. Reach us anytime at heyjapan@eupgroup.net.
