Answers
Frequently asked questions.
Is MOJiKana suitable for absolute beginners?
Yes. MOJiKana starts from zero with Hiragana and Katakana lessons. You do not need any prior Japanese knowledge to begin. The app guides you step by step from the very first character.
How does the news reading feature work?
Japanese news articles are simplified and annotated with furigana (reading aids above Kanji). Tap any word to see its meaning. Articles are graded by difficulty so you always read at the right level.
What makes MOJiKana different from other Japanese apps?
MOJiKana combines structured character learning with authentic content like news and podcasts. Most apps focus on one or the other — MOJiKana bridges the gap between textbook study and real Japanese immersion.
Can I practice writing characters?
Yes. The app includes handwriting practice where you trace characters on screen following the correct stroke order, with instant feedback on accuracy.
