## Frequently asked questions

### How does Pingo help me learn Japanese faster than other apps?

Pingo helps you improve faster because you're speaking Japanese from the start. Instead of grinding through kanji lists or grammar drills, you have real conversations — ordering ramen in Tokyo, navigating the JR line at rush hour, introducing yourself at a new job — get corrected in the moment, and come back to practice what tripped you up last time. That loop builds confidence faster because it matches how Japanese actually gets used.

### Can beginners use Pingo to learn Japanese?

Yes. Tell Pingo your goals and current level, and it builds a Japanese learning plan around you. You'll start with hiragana, katakana, basic greetings, numbers, and polite forms (です/ます) through short, interactive conversations designed to get you speaking from day one. Pingo gives instant feedback on pronunciation, particles (は, が, を), and sentence structure so you build natural Japanese habits from the start.

As you progress, conversational roleplay lets you practice real back-and-forth — ordering at an izakaya, asking for directions at a station, chatting at a hanami picnic. Pingo adapts to your pace, so early sessions stay manageable and rewarding.

### Is Pingo effective for advanced Japanese learners?

Absolutely. Advanced learners can practice keigo (formal/honorific speech), business Japanese, storytelling, and the subtleties of casual vs. formal register. Pingo gives detailed feedback on intonation, kanji choice, and natural phrasing — helping you sound fluent whether you're in a meeting room, at a friend's house, or making a phone call.

### Do you offer a free trial and what does it include?

Yes! The free trial lets you try Pingo's real Japanese conversations and personalized lessons so you can see how it works before subscribing.

Pingo Pro unlocks unlimited conversations, custom chats on any topic you want to practice, lessons built around your goals, and progress that carries across every session.
