Go on a Japanese language adventure throughout our beautiful animated islands teeming with Japanese language content. Our gamified system contains regions for every level of language mastery (PRE-N5 → N1), and each one features hand-crafted Grammar Lessons, Reading Exercises, Course Exercises (drills), Vocabulary and Kanji unlocks, and more!
Written and double-checked by a team of language experts and native speakers, our grammar lessons guide you from absolute beginner to master of Japanese. There is no other resource like it out there. We have a comprehensive list of grammar points, and we go in-depth while keeping it simple and fun!

After reading a grammar lesson, we also give you homework! Our Spaced Repetition System allows you to efficiently review the grammar points you just learned so that they stick in your memory for a very, very long time!

Grammar Library for easy lookup
Ah kanji, the mysterious Chinese characters that give so many learners trouble. In MaruMori's adventure course, you will automatically unlock kanji appropriate for your level, and we’ll teach you how to read and apply these characters in context!
We use mnemonics (stories) to help you remember everything, and we’ve developed a special order that allows us to teach you new kanji using ones you already know!
For example, after you learn 口 (mouth) you will later use that kanji to learn 舌 (tongue) and 活 (lively). This greatly decreases the amount of new info you have to learn. Yay!
Learn the essential 2000 Kanji characters
Learn with mnemonics (stories) and use other kanji as building blocks
Study any kanji (6000+) you want by adding them to personal study lists
It turns out, if you want to learn a language, you kinda need to learn a lot of words! Our adventure course has hand-crafted batches of vocabulary that increase in difficulty as you progress. We’ve carefully curated these items to make sure they are useful and help reinforce the kanji.
Alternatively, you can create your own vocabulary study lists for a more custom experience.

Learn with mnemonics (stories)
Study whichever vocabulary (180.000+) you want by adding them to personal study lists
After every five grammar lessons, you will get a reading exercise featuring the grammar points, kanji and vocab that you just learned. Our reading exercises are fun but challenging, and put your reading comprehension to the test! But don’t worry, we also have full translations and audio to fall back on, just like graded readers!
Fun readings spanning a wide variety of content, from cultural info to everyday conversation
Audio and translations available to help doublecheck your understanding
