    Learn through real Japanese conversations

    Pick up where you left off

    Pingo remembers your level, mistakes, words, and goals, so every session builds on the last.

Made for moments like these

Some prepare you for real life. Some pick up from yesterday. All help you say what you actually mean.

  • Day one in Japanese

    You said:
    Hi! I want to learn Japanese.
    Pingo

    こんにちは！ Let's start simple: how to say hello, who you are, and why you're learning. We'll go ゆっくり — slowly.

  • Saying what you love in Japanese

    Pingo

    Tell me what you actually love. Try 〜が大好き

    You said:
    ジブリの映画が大好き。

  • Picking Japanese back up

    You said:
    今日は何をしますか？
    Pingo

    Yesterday the 敬語 got you a little. Let's pick it back up — ゆっくり.

  • Before Kyoto in Japanese

    You said:
    I'm going to Kyoto in the spring.
    Pingo

    いいね！ Let's practice asking すみません、清水寺はどこですか？ and ordering 抹茶ラテをひとつください。

  • Talking about your day in Japanese

    You said:
    疲れた。
    Pingo

    Good. Now let's make it sound more natural: 今日は一日長かったから疲れた。 What made your day long?

  • An izakaya night in Japanese

    You said:
    すみません、生ビールを一つください。
    Friend

    いいね、じゃあ乾杯しよう。今日お疲れさま。
