Stories
Read without breaking the flow.
The best way to learn a language is by using it. Nekonbini's stories adapt to you — so you can read without constantly stopping to look words up.
- Learn with stories — see words in context, not just on flashcards.
- Stories written just for you, that include words you're about to forget.
- Inline, one-click AI help for explanations, grammar, casual speech, and readings.
- Review vocabulary right in your stories, or as flashcards — whichever fits the way you learn.
Kanji
2000+ kanji that actually stick.
Kanji is the hardest part of Japanese. Nekonbini turns it into the most fun part — with mnemonics, drawing practice, and reviews that build real recall.
- Learn 2000+ kanji by writing tiny stories about their components — the proven, easy method.
- Intelligent drawing practice for every kanji, with stroke-by-stroke validation and instant feedback.
- Spaced-repetition flashcards — write each kanji from memory, not just recognize it.
- Share kanji mnemonics with other learners, and read theirs for inspiration.
- Every on- and kun-reading, every radical and component, in one place.
It all works together
An app that adjusts to your level.

An AI teacher that knows you
The AI knows your progress and what you're reading. It explains grammar, translates phrases, and builds quizzes — tailored to you.
