About
Pony teaches Japanese by building on the Chinese and English you already know — kanji bridges to Chinese characters, katakana borrows straight from English. Please note before you download: Pony's app interface (menus, buttons, settings) is in Chinese. Every lesson card itself is bilingual — Japanese, romaji, English, and Chinese side by side — but navigating the app requires reading Chinese. Pony is built for Chinese-English bilingual learners, not for English-only speakers. WHAT'S INSIDE • Real dialogues first — every lesson opens with an actual conversation (office, shopping, travel, dining), then teaches the grammar and words it just used • Kanji bridges — Japanese kanji explained side by side with the Chinese characters you already read • Four-way breakdown — every sentence shows reading, romaji, English, and Chinese translation together • Speaking practice — record yourself in Japanese or English and get instant pronunciation feedback • Tap-to-hear kana chart — every hiragana and katakana character, one tap away, anytime • Placement test + spaced review — start at your real level, review on a forgetting-curve schedule so it actually sticks Grammar and vocabulary span N5 through N4, with 4,000+ practice cards for listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Built-in native audio works offline. Chapters 1-2 are free; unlock everything with a monthly or annual plan (7-day free trial) or a one-time purchase. Turn the Chinese and English you already have into a shortcut to Japanese. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/Read more
