はじめまして、アナンヤです。
Hi, I’m Ananya! I started teaching myself Japanese in 2013. That hobby became a lifelong passion, and I eventually earned my JLPT N1 certification. Today, I share Japanese learning tips with more than 800,000 people worldwide.
I built Japanese with Ananya to teach the methods I wish I’d had when I started.
Go from first introductions to everyday Japanese, one module at a time.
Set a goal, see how the course works, and use Japanese in your first lesson.
Introduce yourself and use the right honorific for the person you’re speaking to.
Learn hiragana and katakana so you can start reading and writing.
See how kanji works and learn a manageable way to study it.
Talk about yourself, ask for directions, and use your first grammar patterns.
Order food and tell people what you like.
Use the possessive particle の correctly and talk about your hobbies.
Talk about what happened, what is happening, and what comes next.
Use sentence-ending particles and say that you speak Japanese.
Use spaced repetition to remember more, then practice with weather conversations.
Use numbers, dates, days, times, and quantities in daily conversation.
Learn common manners and gestures, and what they mean in Japan.
Connect separate phrases to make clear sentences.
Say where you’re from, how long you’ve studied, and talk about your learning journey.
