Nihongo Ninja is not affiliated with any of the listed sources. We only embed videos as per YouTube's Terms of Service, use public APIs provided by these sites, or provide URLs to visit them. We love these creators and would love to bring more attention to them.
Personalized learning paths
We don't force you to go through beginner material if you've already done it.
Chances are that you've already gone through some material by the time you've come across Nihongo Ninja, anyway.
Transparent progress
Language tools shouldn't be black boxes.
We want you to know exactly what you're struggling with, see what's coming up, and look at a clear history of what you've accomplished.
Instant gratification, engaging stories, and the world's knowledge at your fingertips.
Our whole ethos is about having fun. Getting input from only one source quickly gets dull. Trying to wing it and "absorb the language naturally" is incredibly frustrating in the beginning.
Nihongo Ninja aims to walk the fine line between structure and freedom by offering best-in-class tools while bringing passionate artists and creators to you.
