NativShark encompasses all aspects of the Japanese language with a click of the Study Now button. Press it and learn the writing systems, grammar, vocab, culture, history, the various dialects, and even popular media or cultural references a native speaker is likely to make when speaking. We also teach the differences of everyday Japanese and "textbook" Japanese.

Every core sentence in NativShark comes with two pieces of natural audio, recorded by native speakers. We reject recordings that do not match the given context, which prevents our audio from having an unnatural "textbook" feel to it.

NativShark builds upon itself. All Japanese you've seen in NativShark is introduced again and again in other contexts, allowing you to understand kanji, words, and concepts on a deeper level. This also means you get lots of passive review even when learning new Japanese.

Our flashcards use a custom-built spaced repetition system (SRS) algorithm which allows you to get a refresher on what you've seen in NativShark so far before you hop into learning new Japanese.

See what you've studied recently, what's coming up today, as well as your study stats.

Earn "Days Studied Badges" based on how many days you've studied Japanese. This number goes up every time you show up and study (even if it's only a bit!), and doesn't disappear if you miss some days. Keep showing up and watch it increase as you make progress toward your study goals~

Sometimes you just want to study in bed, lights off, away from the world. Other times you might be sitting outside at your favorite café. With light and dark modes, both of these are easy on the eyes.

Test yourself on your knowledge of verb conjugations. The conjugation drill tool covers every possible stem change in the language.

You can quiz yourself on hiragana and katakana at any time to ensure you feel comfortable with them as you continue learning new Japanese.

Listen to repeated audio recordings of the sentences you've learned. Set the number of times the sentence repeats, as well as the gender of the voice actor. You can also create your own custom shadow loop albums to drill the exact sentences you'd like to work on.

You can create custom flashcards based on the Japanese that you encounter out in the real world. Build one central hub for learning and reviewing all language content.
