日本語
Learn Japanese free, 40 words at a time
Instead of a course that starts with fruit and farm animals, LingoMatrix asks what you need Japanese for — convenience-store trips, polite introductions, train stations — and builds a 40-word matrix around it. Those 40 words recombine into roughly 10,000 sentences you would actually say.
Build my Japanese matrixHow the Japanese matrix works
- Say what you need Japanese for, and pick your level.
- Get 10 pronouns, 10 verbs, 10 adjectives and 10 nouns in Japanese, each with an English translation and phonetic spelling.
- Pick one word from each column — the grammar engine conjugates and agrees everything for you, then reads the sentence aloud.
- Hit the randomizer when you want a short surprise sentence to practise.
