Learning Japanese with Tsuji
How long does it take to learn Japanese?
To N5, about 4 months at ten minutes a day from zero, kana included, by Tsuji’s estimate. It shows you your own arrival date and works it out again when your pace changes.
Where to start: hiragana, katakana or kanji?
With hiragana, then katakana: they write everything else. Tsuji asks what you already know and boards you at the right station.
What is spaced repetition?
Each card comes back at the interval where you were about to forget it: minutes after a miss, days then weeks once you know it. It is what the trial card above does.
Is Tsuji free?
Yes, during early access, with no account needed to start. A subscription will come later for unlimited reviews; the kana will stay free.
Does Tsuji replace Anki?
The same spaced repetition, with nothing to configure and the JLPT syllabus already written. Your own cards join in, or import from a spreadsheet.
Is my data sold?
No. No ads, no trackers, no sale of data; your progress exports and your account deletes in two taps.
