MochiKana Special feature: The Golden Time
The Golden Time special feature can automatically schedule the perfect time to review your characters, based on the Spaced Repetition System (SRS). This helps you remember Hiragana and Katakana better, without spending too much time studying.
Tips: Turn on your notifications and follow the golden time to make sure your learning progress is at its best
5 levels of memorization
The 5 Levels of Memorization feature divides all learned characters into 5 levels based on your memory strength. The app adjusts your review lessons accordingly — the better you remember a character, the less often it will appear.
Correct answers will promote characters to a higher level, giving you a strong sense of progress.
Tips: Aim to move all characters up to higher levels! The more accurate your reviews, the fewer characters you’ll need to review each day.
Learn Hiragana and Katakana with Interactive Flash Cards
The Interactive Flash Cards feature helps you master each character with an all-in-one learning experience. Each flash card includes a descriptive image, pronunciation tips, native audio, and a built-in writing practice section.
Lessons are short and focused — typically 2–3 flash cards per lesson — making learning fun and easy to keep up with.
Tips: Take your time with the writing practice and repeat the audio out loud to build stronger memory connections.
Vocabulary notebook
The “vocabulary notebook” is like a vocabulary journal of your own, which helps you have an overview of all learned words. You can access this feature by clicking the small pink notebook icon on the screen.
Tips: With this feature, you can also eliminate words you already know or words that you are confident of, so you can have more time with other words.
Japanese characters writing lessons
The Writing Lessons feature helps you practice writing Hiragana and Katakana by hand, building muscle memory and reinforcing your learning. Writing each character correctly will deepen your understanding and make it easier to recall during reading or conversation.
Tips: Don’t skip the writing practice! The more you write, the faster you’ll master the stroke order and shapes of each character.
Conversation feature
The Conversation Lessons feature teaches you how to communicate in Japanese with essential phrases for daily life. These beginner-friendly lessons are based on common real-life situations, helping you build confidence and use Japanese naturally from day one.
Tips: Practice saying the phrases out loud! The more you speak, the more comfortable you’ll become in real conversations.
