Questions
What will I learn?
Japanese from your first kana to JLPT N5: vocabulary, kanji, grammar, reading, and listening. There are timed mock exams in the real JLPT format, and a quick daily review that brings words back before you forget them.
I already know some Japanese. Do I start from the beginning?
No. Tell HeyShima your level when you start, and if you are past kana you can go straight to the N5 course. Each volume ends with a test: score 80% or more and the whole volume counts as done.
Will I lose my progress if I change devices?
No. Your progress is saved to your account, so it is all there when you sign in on a new phone.
When is it out, and is it on Android?
HeyShima launches on iPhone first, planned for December 2026. Join the waitlist and we will email you the day it is out. There is no Android version at launch.
What is the free JLPT N5 checklist?
A printable checklist of everything on the JLPT N5. Read it on this site for free, no email needed, or we will email you the PDF. More free sheets are on the way, starting with hiragana and katakana.
