Learn how people actually talk, not just the "textbook language" used in most learning materials.
No robotically generated voices. No "teaching" voice. Native speakers speaking as they would for other native speakers.
Japanese is a "high-context" language. If you don't know the situation, you won't know what is natural to say.
Stop learning about how to learn Japanese and just learn it. Log in, click Study Now, and we'll take care of the rest for you.

Watch as concepts build upon one another, taking you to an advanced level. Keep tabs on your progress along the way, see what you've studied recently, what's coming up today, and your overall study stats.
We teach the entire Japanese language from scratch. You can go from zero knowledge to making friends, enjoying media, and getting professional certifications.
Building a daily study habit is a core pillar of success in reaching your language goals.
Every day you log into NativShark and complete all your reviews, it will count as a day towards your study streak.
After studying for a day, your match will be lit.
Keep it up for 3 days, and you'll move that flame over to a candle.
Studying for a whole 7 days buys you an oil lamp to replace your candle.
28 days of consecutive study means you're ready to carry this torch to your next streak.
Get your streak up to 60 days, and you're ready to start your kindling fire.
After about 24 weeks or 5.724137 moon cycles, you'll notice your kindling fire is now a comfy campfire.
Your campfire turns into a bonfire. Very cozy. Very toasty.
Your toasty bonfire turns into a toasty volcano.
You're relaxing on your volcano when you see a comet in the sky. That is the comet that you earned from keeping a streak of 730 days, two full years. That's quite the streak. Good work.
Your comet reaches the sun and melts into it. You've kept up your streak for 1,095 days, or 3 years. Feel free to stare at the sun on your screen. Can't recommend doing so with the real-life version, even with sunglasses.
Your sun turns into a supernova. You kept up your daily studies for so long that you out-studied the lifespan of your sun. Impressive.
Your supernova moves onto the next phase of its life and turns into a black hole. We knew you really absorbed information, but enough to spawn a black hole? With dedication of this level, there's nothing you can't do.
For those who find such things motivating, we've got some fun rewards along the way to mark your progress.
If, however, you're not a fan, you can disable the streak. What's important is forming the habit. How you find motivation is up to you, and we're here to support you along the way!
