Open pageThis is where Kaku Kaku Inc. keeps its Japanese learning apps and web tools. Each is built for one job: the N3 Grammar Plan lays out all 176 JLPT N3 grammar points across eight weeks and 48 days, every point with example sentences and kana readings; ReSay drills speaking output with instant playback; and the Bilingual Voice Generator turns any sentence into Japanese or English audio.
The explanations are written for Chinese speakers. Japanese and Chinese share their characters, which looks like an advantage and is in fact where most mistakes come from — 大丈夫, 勉強 and 手紙 all mean something else in Japanese, and the grammar patterns with no Chinese equivalent are harder still. So every point starts in Chinese with what the Chinese equivalent would be and why it cannot be carried over, before the Japanese form is introduced.
Pick the one that matches where you are. You do not need all of them.
The course content is free. The apps show ads, and a subscription only removes them — no lesson is ever locked behind it.
The N3 Grammar Plan assumes you have finished beginner Japanese and are working toward N3. ReSay and the Bilingual Voice Generator have no level requirement — kana is enough.
They are written for Chinese speakers. Because the two languages share characters, the costly mistakes are the ones that look understood but are not, and pointing that out in Chinese is faster than an all-Japanese explanation.
Yes. Sentences in the apps play on tap, and the Bilingual Voice Generator on this site turns any sentence into audio you can download.
