語

Learn Japanese, one day at a time

Mainichigo is 毎日語 — “everyday language.” Ten quiet minutes a day with a patient tutor who remembers what you forget, and the kanji start to stay.

Start learning — free I already have an account

Free while in early access. No card, no commitment.

Talk with Sensei

Speak, and be understood

Hold a real conversation out loud — Sensei listens and answers in Japanese. Choose polite です・ます or the casual speech friends actually use.

Visual scenes

See it, then say it

A picture is painted for your level. Describe it in Japanese, and Sensei asks questions about what you see — and gently corrects you.

Writing practice

Every stroke, in its order

Paste any Japanese text: readings appear over the kanji, and each character draws itself stroke by stroke, ready to replay.

Spaced repetition

Review the day before you forget

Every kanji, word and grammar point gets its own schedule. Answer easily and it waits weeks; hesitate and it comes back tomorrow.

Built on the real lists

Five levels, in order

2,212 kanji and 8,000 words, each placed at the level it belongs to. A short placement puts you where you actually are, not where you guess.

Lessons that build

One step, then the next

Grammar explained in short lessons, each standing on the one before — and the words you need arrive exactly when you need them.

{# The numbered steps are a real sequence — you cannot study before you are placed — so numbering them says something true. #}
