We teach the entire Japanese language from scratch. 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 don't only teach you the language, we also support you to make the learning journey easy.
See our library of guides and support articles, including the Japanese learning essentials guide, how to make stress-free progress, and how to learn with the media you love.
Building a consistent study habit is a core pillar of success in reaching your language goals.
Every day you log into NativShark and complete your reviews, it will count as a day towards your Days Studied achievements.
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 study means you're ready to carry this torch to your achievement!
Get your days studied 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 studying for 730 days, two full years. That's quite the achievement. Good work.
Your comet reaches the sun and melts into it. You've studied 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 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.
The more days you study, the further you climb!
