NativShark lessons are written by a native speaker of Japanese along with a non-native speaker who reached an advanced level of proficiency as an adult. This ensures that we teach natural Japanese while framing concepts in a way that a student is likely to understand and appreciate.
Our review system uses a custom-built spaced repetition system (SRS) algorithm. This means you only see sentences when you might be in danger of forgetting them, which has been scientifically proven to improve retention.
The end of each unit features a dialogue containing only concepts you've already learned. All audio is spoken at natural speed, which improves listening much more than slowed-down audio.
Learn at your own pace. You set your review threshold and the system adjusts your learning path.
