Start the first lesson

Master the art of counting anything — from paper to people — and never guess again.

Because counters are the difference between sounding like a textbook and sounding like you actually live in Japanese — and they're not as random as they seem.

By the end

You will confidently choose and use the correct Japanese counter for hundreds of everyday items, both in speech and in writing.

Who this is for

For learners at JLPT N4 level who can handle basic grammar but freeze when they need to count things beyond one or two.
