Koto turns short clips of real Japanese speakers into lessons. Read along word by word, tap any word for its meaning, and review what you saved as daily flashcards.
Clips from
Textbook sentences don't sound like real people. Koto teaches you the Japanese people actually speak, in clips short enough to fit between anything.
Every clip is 10 to 15 seconds of a native speaker, from anime scenes to travel vlogs. Swipe up for the next one, just like the feeds you already use.
Each line is split into words with romaji underneath. The word being spoken lights up in blue, and the English meaning sits right below.
Get the reading, part of speech and meaning, plus a plain-English explanation of how it's used and the full sentence from the clip.
Words you save turn into daily flashcards, and Koto keeps count of every Japanese word you know. Starting from zero? Learn hiragana and katakana first.
言葉 (kotoba) is the Japanese word for “words”. Koto is built around exactly that: one real word at a time, heard in context, from people who actually speak the language.
