For a detailed guide, see:[Blog] How to learn Japanese with NetflixHow to learn Japanese with MangaIn brief, Migaku makes subtitles in platforms like Netflix or YouTube and text in webpages interactive.Parse → Parse a video or selection of text with Migaku. Migaku will make the text interactive and show roughly how difficult it is. (To read manga, an OCR software is necessary.)Look up → Consume the content as normal. Upon encountering unknown words, click to see definitions, audio recordings, images, and AI-generated explanations.Flashcards → With one click, make flashcards that contain the selected word, the sentence it appeared in, an audio snippet from your video, and a screenshot from your videoReview → Migaku will periodically nudge you to review words you make flashcards out of, ensuring you eventually remember them.This immersion-based approach ensures that users learn the specific Japanese vocabulary words and grammar points they need in order to do the things they enjoy. Is Migaku suitable for complete Japanese beginners?Yes, Migaku is perfect for beginners learning Japanese! A Migaku subscription includes unlimited access to three Japanese courses that begin from zero:Migaku Japanese Fundamentals → Learn hiragana, katakana, proper Japanese pronunciation, and the essentials of Japanese sentence structureMigaku Kanji Course → Learn how to learn kanji, then learn the 800 kanji that occur in the most common ~1,700 Japanese wordsMigaku Japanese Academy → Learn the ~1,700 Japanese vocabulary words and ~380 Japanese grammar points necessary to understand 80% of Japanese NetflixAt ~30 minutes per day (~10 flashcards per day), Migaku's structured approach will bring users from zero to intermediate Japanese—ready to begin exploring Netflix, YouTube, and Japanese media—in about 6 months. How does Migaku's spaced repetition system work for learning Japanese?Migaku uses an intelligent spaced repetition system that (a) shows you flashcards right before you're likely to forget them and (b) filters your flashcards, showing you things you struggle with more often and things you know well less often. This scientifically-proven method makes learning and remembering large numbers of Japanese words and phrases much more efficient. You can study your Japanese flashcards on your phone or computer, allowing you to fit Japanese learning into your daily routine.[Blog] How spaced repetition works[Video] Why flashcards are important for language learners[Video] How to make effective flashcards Can I track my Japanese learning progress with Migaku?Absolutely! Migaku tracks all the Japanese words a user learns and uses that data to generate a comprehension score for websites they visit and content they consume. The comprehension score provides a rough idea of how difficult the selected content will be, given the words the user currently does and doesn't know.User data indicates that Migaku users can sustainably learn 10 words per day, while power users regularly double or triple that amount. Some Migaku users have achieved vocabularies of over 40,000 words. What makes Migaku different from other Japanese learning apps?The biggest difference is intent:Other apps → Traditional Japanese apps are simply a means to an end. They expect that learners will subscribe, learn basic Japanese, and then move on to "real" Japanese.Migaku → Migaku is an end in and of itself. Beginner — If a user knows no Japanese, they can begin with Migaku's courses.Intermediate — As a user approaches the intermediate level, Migaku's toolset will enable them to begin consuming authentic native content sooner than would normally be possible.Advanced — Even if a user is advanced to consume native media independently, they will appreciate how Migaku streamlines the process of making flashcards, enabling them to spend more time immersing and less time creating learning materials.For more information, see:[Video] What is Migaku?[Blog] The problem with textbooks; Or, how I actually learned Japanese How effective is Migaku for JLPT exam preparation?Migaku is not optimized around helping learners prepare for Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) success. The JLPT is a standardized test that tests learner's knowledge of vocabulary and grammar and asks them to answer reading comprehension and listening comprehension questions of a very specific style that do not really appear outside of the JLPT.This means that learners face a choice:If you already understand some Japanese and your goal is specifically to pass the JLPT, you should prepare with a JLPT prep book.If you primarily want to consume Japanese media, you are a perfect fit for Migaku.If you're a total beginner, the Migaku Japanese Academy introduces 400 grammar patterns that show up on the JLPT N5 and JLPT N4, so you can get onto your feet with Migaku and decide how to continue down the road.Ultimately, a big part of learning Japanese boils down to simply interacting with Japanese, and Migaku is built around providing users the support necessary to begin consuming authentic Japanese media earlier than would be normally possible.For more detail, please see:[Blog] What you need to know to pass the JLPT N5[Blog] What you need to know to pass the JLPT N1 Can I use Migaku to learn Japanese on both mobile and desktop?Yes, Migaku is designed for seamless cross-platform Japanese learning.Mobile → Create and study flashcards, browse the web, watch YouTube, leverage OCR to use Migaku with physical media like textbooks, and moreBrowser extension → Everything the mobile app can do (minus OCR), plus support for additional popular streaming sites like NetflixMigaku believes that it is essential to maintain consistent study habits to learn a language, so we are committed to enabling users to study and interact with Japanese anywhere, on any device.

It works like this:Parse → Analyze a video, web page, or selection of text with Migaku. This makes it possible to interact with the text or subtitles.Look up → Watch your movie, read your webnovel—or whatever you enjoy. As you come across unknown words, click to see what they mean, hear natives pronounce them, see images of them, and learn from AI-generated explanations.Flashcards → If a word looks useful, you can turn it into a flashcard with a single click. Flashcards contain the selected word, the sentence it appeared in, an audio snippet from your video, and a screenshot from your video.Review → Migaku’s spaced repetition flashcard system will nudge you to review your flashcards over time, ensuring you eventually remember them.This immersion-based approach ensures that users learn the specific Chinese vocabulary words they need to consume the content they enjoy. Is Migaku suitable for complete Chinese beginners?Yes, Migaku is perfect for absolute Chinese beginners! All Migaku subscriptions include unlimited access to two simplified Chinese courses:Migaku Chinese Fundamentals → Learn pinyin and Chinese pronunciationMigaku Chinese Academy → Learn the ~1,500 Chinese vocabulary words and ~330 Chinese grammar patterns necessary to follow 80% of Chinese media contentAt a pace of 10 flashcards per day (roughly 30 minutes per day), Migaku’s structured courses will bring users from zero to intermediate Chinese in about six months. How does Migaku help with Chinese pronunciation and tones?While Migaku is not designed to help users master Chinese pronunciation, we do provide several tools that will enable users to improve their pronunciation and learn the challenging tone system.Migaku Mandarin Fundamentals → Learn pinyin pronunciation, starting from vowels and diphthongs like “ao” and “ai” and eventually moving onto tone combinations and minimal-pair training. Each sound covered features an audio and video recording of the native speaker saying the sound.Color coding → Chinese content parsed by Migaku, Migaku’s flashcards, and our in-course pronunciation guides all include optional color coding for different tones (1st tone: red, 2nd tone: yellow, 3rd tone: green, 4th tone: blue, neutral/5th tone: grey). This gives learners one more cue to latch onto as they build their listening skills.Immersion → A big part of learning Mandarin pronunciation simply boils down to spending a lot of time interacting with Mandarin media—hearing native speakers speak their language. Migaku provides learners with the tools necessary to begin consuming media, even if they are still a beginner.Essentially, the platform helps you learn proper tones in context through real examples rather than isolated practice. Can I track my Chinese learning progress and find content at my level?Absolutely! Migaku tracks the Chinese words that a user learns and utilizes this data to calculate a comprehension score for all Chinese content the user interacts with. This score gives users a visual representation of how hard a piece of content will be for them, given their current vocabulary.User data indicates that Migaku users can sustainably learn 10 words per day, while power users regularly double or triple that number. Some users have achieved vocabularies of over 40,000 words. What makes Migaku different from other Chinese learning apps like ChineseSkill or LingQ?Unlike traditional Chinese learning apps, Migaku focuses on enabling users to learn from authentic, native content rather than artificial textbook examples.Other apps → Most Chinese apps don’t see their users staying around long-term. They expect that learners will subscribe, learn basic Chinese, and then move on to whatever it is that they really want to do.Migaku → Migaku provides structured learning to beginners, technological support to intermediates beginning to explore Chinese media, and convenience to advanced learners who want to spend more time consuming media and less time preparing learning materials. Beginner — If a user knows no Chinese, they can start learning with Migaku’s courses.Intermediate — Once a user gets their feet under them, Migaku provides the boost they need to begin enjoying native Chinese media.Advanced — Advanced learners can continue doing whatever they do, and Migaku will streamline the process of looking up unknown words and making flashcards.If you’re new to immersion-based learning approaches, see this video for more information:[Video] What is Migaku? How effective is Migaku for HSK exam preparation?Migaku is not intended to prepare users for the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK). Instead, Migaku has three main goals:Build a foundation → Bring users from zero to a level where they are ready to begin consuming real Chinese media as efficiently as possibleFacilitate immersion → Provide users with tools that make it easier to engage with media in MandarinRemember words → With one click, users can create media-rich flashcards directly from their media of choiceThe immersion-based approach helps learners understand nuanced meanings and usage patterns that pure textbook study often misses. For this reason, interacting with real Chinese media is an essential element of any HSK preparation.Having said that, Migaku’s Chinese Academy teaches ~330 basic Chinese grammar points, covering the majority of grammatical structures encountered through HSK 5, so Migaku is still a good choice even for learners that definitely plan to take the HSK. Can I use Migaku to learn both Traditional and Simplified Chinese characters?While Migaku’s courses are only offered with simplified characters, the wider platform supports both Traditional and Simplified Chinese characters.A setting enables users to change simplified characters in subtitles, webpages, and so forth to traditional characters (and vice versa)Dictionaries are available for both words written with traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese charactersMigaku recognizes both simplified and traditional characters, regardless of whether the user has indicated that they prefer one set of characters or the otherSo, yes: Migaku supports both writing systems, and can be used by learners interested in learning Mandarin Chinese as spoken in China, Taiwan, or elsewhere.
