Katakana Mastery is the follow-up to Hiragana Heroes – where we dive into the second of Japan's two phonetic scripts – Katakana.
Alongside Hiragana, Katakana is essential for reading and writing Japanese. While Hiragana handles native words and grammar, Katakana is used to represent foreign words, names, and even sound effects, playing a crucial role in how Japanese adapts the outside world.
In this course, you’ll master the 46 basic Katakana characters and learn how to use them in everyday situations. From reading foreign loanwords like コンピューター (computer) and コーヒー (coffee) to recognizing Katakana in manga and travel guides, this course will boost your confidence in both reading and speaking Japanese.
At launch, we are focusing on the big three: Korean, Japanese and Chinese. With over 100 million fellow learners worldwide, you're in great company.

That is entirely up to you. We are a strictly streak-free zone which means we encourage you to go live your life and pop in to see when it feels good to you.
