Learn Japanese. Seriously.
Master Japanese successfully
A confident appearance in Japanese
With Qwyga you learn Japanese so that you understand everything. So that you can say what you really mean in one sentence.
You are in control - of your learning and your language
Decide what you learn and how much you learn. You decide what your language course looks like and are therefore fully empowered with your Japanese language skills.
You save your valuable time for the important things
Only learn the things that really interest you. Only go as deep as you really want to.
In many products for beginners, you are presented with prefabricated sentences or individual words and explanations are reduced to a minimum or do not exist at all. As a result, you don't understand what is actually coming out of your mouth. You have no real control over what you say.
We can't promise that learning Japanese will be effortless. But we do promise not to waste your time with pointless games.
To get the most out of your learning time, we have developed Qwyga around a few key points:
You have the power!
Tell Qwyga WHAT you want to learn, HOW you want to learn and WHY you want to learn. The app will build you a language course that is as unique as you are.
Everyone learns differently. And everyone has different goals and interests. Why waste your time on a lesson about Japanese energy policy if you're not interested in it? Qwyga asks you a few questions at the beginning, which you can use to determine your own learning content and the way in which it is taught to you. In concrete terms, this means that you use your precious time for exactly what you want to learn. And you enjoy learning more because you learn what interests you. Gone are the days when you had to adapt to the learning program. When you learn with Qwyga, the app adapts to you.
Incidentally, this even goes so far that you can choose to learn Japanese with or without grammar explanations. Depending on what you choose, your learning experience will be different, but in the end you will learn exactly how you feel comfortable.
Thematic focus
Learn Japanese in a topic-centered way. Whether it's going to a restaurant, studying or Halloween, Qwyga contains topics for many everyday scenarios.
In real life (and you are probably learning for this) you will need Japanese in certain situations: You want to check into a hotel, talk about your hobbies or read a newspaper article about e-mobility in Japan. Different situations require different vocabulary. That's why Qwyga is organized into subject areas that teach you exactly what you need for each situation. And you'll learn how to communicate in Japanese using realistic dialogs.
Three learning levels
Decide for yourself whether you want to start with a broad-based approach to your Japanese or go into more depth on a specific topic, including complex conversations.
Within a subject area, you will find several lessons, each assigned to a learning level (BASIC, INTERMEDIATE, ADVANCED). These are presented to you in a sequence that takes you step by step from simple conversations to the discussion of complex issues. Once you have completed all the BASIC lessons in a topic, you will unlock a new topic. You then have the choice of tackling the new topic at BASIC level or continuing with the old topic at the higher learning levels. Or you can mix and match as you wish. It's your learning, and therefore your choice!
Innovative script introduction
Learn the Japanese script systems by reading and writing from the get-go.
Many Japanese textbooks start with a table of syllabaries, briefly explain the basic principles of how to write with them... and then leave you to learn the script on your own. Qwyga has a learning approach where you discover the script and its principles on your own. One by one, the app reveals the syllabaries to you and lets you read and write words from the very first second. The “learning” happens practically on the side.
And of course Qwyga doesn't just teach you kanji like that. We link the kanji introduction to the vocabulary introduction so that you always have the context in mind for which a kanji is relevant.
Dubbing by native speakers
You hear Japanese as it really sounds.
This allows you to practise listening and repeating right from the start and gain confidence in dealing with the sound of speech. Because with every computer-generated voice, doubts remain as to whether what you hear is really authentic.

Testimonials
"The app clearly presents all the information that you rarely get in textbooks. This allows you to approach the language in a much more individual and self-determined way. An absolute recommendation!"
"I was super proud every time that I can really do this now [...] This feeling that I now have everything I need at hand for this dialogue pattern made me very satisfied [...] Qwyga has a crystal-clear progression that is almost self-explanatory and automatically leads to success."
"I can choose my goals at the beginning and don't have a rigid concept like with a book that I have to go through. The app adapts to me."
"What I like most is that I learn so many new, useful things about Japanese that no other app could teach me before."

What is your cancellation policy?
- You can cancel anytime and progress will remain unaffected. If you cancel within your 7-day or 14-day free trial period, you will not be charged.

Can I move my subscription from iOS to Android (or vice versa)?
Unfortunately, this is not possible. Please note the following:
- You'll continue to be charged on the platform you initially subscribed to. For example, if you signed up while on an iPhone, you'll continue being billed each month, every three months or each year – depending on your subscription – through the App Store.
- It doesn't matter where you initially started your subscription; your subscriber access stays tied to your user account.

Payment transactions are handled by Google or Apple, depending on the platform you subscribed from.
Therefore, we accept all payment methods specified by Google on Android and all payment methods specified by Apple on iOS.
What if I want to be billed through the platform of my new device?
You'll need to cancel your current subscription on the old platform, wait until it's over, and re-subscribe on the new one.
