We spent 10,000 hours to make the perfect Japanese course

Migaku is a powerful chrome extension designed to enable you to learn languages by using them — by consuming content you love. ... but it can be frustrating to consume content when you have a very low level. Textbooks are often an equally frustrating experience: they provide what somebody else thinks you need to know, which may not align with what you actually need to know to do the things you want to do. This problem in mind, we've created two Japanese courses to ease learners into their immersion learning: 1. Japanese Fundamentals — This course introduces everything you need to know to read hiragana and katakana, to pronounce Japanese well, and some similar basics 2. Japanese Academy — This course introduces ~1,800 vocabulary words and ~400 grammar points. Each sentence only introduces one piece of information at a time (whether a vocab word or grammar point) audio from a native speaker. After finishing the first level of the Japanese Academy course you'll be ready to begin learning Japanese by consuming real Japanese content and making your own flashcards. In the future, we hope to add a few more Japanese Academy levels that cover everything you need to know to pass the JLPT N1.
