Is Zenshin for you?

Honest answer: it works best if you already have a foundation. If you're still learning hiragana, start there first. Zenshin assumes you can read the basics so we can push output.

A good fit if…

  • You want to produce, not just recognize

    You can already read some Japanese. What frustrates you is writing and saying it when there’s no answer key on the screen.

  • You care about real progress

    You want to know which words and grammar you can actually use, not how many lessons you’ve “completed.”

  • You’re willing to struggle a bit

    Recall and sentence writing feel harder than flipping cards. That’s the point. Easy practice rarely sticks.

What you need

  • あいうえお

    Hiragana & Katakana

    You can read them. Speed doesn’t matter. Recognition is enough to start.

  • 文の構造

    Basic sentence structure

    You know verbs tend to come at the end, and you’re not starting from absolute zero on particles.

Not there yet? That's fine. Learn the kana, get comfortable with simple sentences, then come back. We're building more beginner support, but skipping the foundation just makes everything harder.

If that sounds like you, start free and try one real practice session.
