Japanese is spoken by around 125 million people in Japan. It's the gateway to one of the world’s most distinctive cultures, and far more learnable when you start with real phrases. My Language Learning teaches Japanese the way people actually pick it up abroad: through realistic conversations, the words you'll use most, and short daily practice that fits a real schedule.

Japanese learning — frequently asked questions
How long does it take to learn Japanese?
With focused daily practice of 15–30 minutes, most learners reach confident everyday conversation in Japanese within about three months. My Language Learning builds a personalised path from your placement test so you spend time on what you actually need.
Is Japanese hard to learn?
Every language is learnable when you practise the right things in the right order. We start you with high-frequency phrases and real scenarios — ordering food, checking in, asking directions — so you are speaking Japanese from day one instead of memorising rules in isolation.
Can I learn Japanese for free?
Yes. You can try a full Japanese lesson with no account. A free account saves your progress and streak, and a 7-day free trial unlocks all nine languages plus AI conversation practice.
Do I need to learn the Japanese alphabet or characters first?
No. Pronunciation guides and audio on every word mean you can start speaking and understanding Japanese immediately, and pick up the writing system gradually alongside real practice.
