Native Checked, Cultural Lessons
Without context and culture, a language is worthless. You can rest assured that all the lessons have been checked by native Japanese speakers and give cultural background knowledge so that you can use the language correctly.
Clear, Fresh Explanations
Unlike regular textbooks, Gakuu remains current by constantly updating and refreshing the material. Intuitive commentary and simple explanations from people who have experienced the same challenges learning the language as you.

Gakuu can be used by a wide range of people, from beginner to advanced level learners. That said, since we use real-world examples of Japanese, it might be a little frightening for those who have never touched the language before. We do explain everything as simply as possible and make it fun, but for absolute beginners, Gakuu works best when combined with a basic Japanese textbook.
