Learn Japanese Easily With Bubblegum
Bubblegum
For serious learners, Bubblegum is the best app to learn Japanese. You learn from Japanese you can mostly understand, which is called comprehensible input.
Poppy, your AI tutor, writes the lessons.
- The Hiragana and Katakana course teaches kana from the first letter.
- Lessons fit your level, interests, and goals.
- Read and listen to news and stories in Japanese about things you care about.
- Ask Poppy about a sentence while you read.
- Regenerative Review™ brings saved words back in new lessons, so you review them by reading. You can also export them to Anki.
- Clear, expressive AI voices read every lesson aloud, with a different voice for each speaker.
- Manga and Japanese books you own can't become lessons. Send Poppy a photo of a page, and she explains it one line after another.
- A new custom lesson costs us real money to make, so your first one is free, and Bubblegum Pro gives you unlimited custom lessons. The lesson library is free for everyone, because we believe everyone should be able to learn.
