Nihoner Premium: Unlock All Japanese Courses, Games & AI Tools

What changed today

Four major capabilities switched on the moment you upgraded.

The reader stops stopping you

20 passages a day instead of three, every topic including your city and Japanese history, and a difficulty dial you control. Read until you are satisfied rather than cut off.

Open the reader

Nothing you got wrong is lost

Every word you tap and do not know now automatically enters your review deck and returns on a spaced schedule instead of being noted and forgotten.

See your progress

Native audio narration

Generate high-quality audio narration for works in the 229-book library. Read with your eyes and ears at once to rapidly connect kanji with real pronunciation.

Explore library audio

Uncapped AI tutor

Ask deep questions about nuanced sentence structures, cultural subtleties, and grammar rules without watching a daily counter. Always tailored to your current level.

Consult AI Sensei

Worth doing in your first week

Members who do these three stay. That is not a sales line, it is what learner data proves.

Start one real book

Pick any of the 229 complete works and read one page. Tap what you do not know — it goes straight into your memory review deck with audio narration.

Open the library

Write ten characters by hand

Scored stroke by stroke in your browser. Ten minutes of active stroke drawing does more for recall than an hour of recognition drills.

Practise writing

Finish one course

Every course ends in an exam and an official certificate with a verification code you can share. Finishing one is clear proof of momentum.
