How Glosaire works
Turn the Japanese you enjoy into Japanese you remember
A word moves from a scene you care about to a quick memory check, a sentence of your own, and a new ability you can feel.
Your Japanese milestones
Know what you are working towards
Small daily sessions add up to moments learners care about: finishing a story, following a scene, and saying more for yourself.
- Around month 2
Read beginner and children's stories
Follow the main thread with readings and word help close by.
- Around month 6
Follow familiar everyday conversations
Catch common questions, replies, and routines without translating every word.
- Around month 9
Enjoy simple shows with Japanese subtitles
Stay with straightforward scenes and recognise more of the language as it happens.
- Around month 12
Catch the gist and express familiar ideas
Understand clear everyday speech and reach for your own Japanese more comfortably.
Example pace for a beginner starting with basic kana: about 15–20 minutes a day, five days a week, learning 10 words a day and completing scheduled reviews. Everyone’s timing will vary.

Questions, answered
Start learning Japanese with confidence
What can I learn Japanese from?
Start with Glosaire's curated videos and stories, bring Japanese-subtitled YouTube videos, or learn while watching Netflix with the Glosaire browser extension.
Can complete beginners use Glosaire?
Yes. The Beginner Path teaches the foundations step by step, while furigana, romaji, and reading help make authentic Japanese approachable from the start.
Can I see romaji, furigana, and grammar help?
Yes. Choose the reading support that suits you, then open a word to see its meaning, usage, and grammar explained in that sentence.
Is Glosaire just flashcards?
No. Glosaire combines immersion with recall, listening, writing, speaking, and sentence-building practice so you learn to recognise Japanese and use it yourself.
Can I cancel Premium?
Yes. Manage your subscription wherever you purchased it. Your access continues according to the cancellation terms shown for that purchase.
Make more Japanese yours.
Start with something you want to understand. Remember the words that matter. Use them in Japanese of your own.
