ReflectJP: Japanese Chunks, No Grammar

Explore Japanese through color-linked chunks, short English explanations, reading labels and sound—not a grammar textbook.

See the meaning. Notice the attitude.

Type an English sentence, translate with Apple Translation, and follow Japanese chunks. Explanations advance every three seconds; tap a chunk to pause. Hear the sentence or an individual phrase.

Explore hiragana and katakana for free

The fifty-sounds chart includes voice marks and recordings. Japanese also uses kanji; the chart is a starting point, not the whole writing system.
