Three writing systems (Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji) and thousands of characters make reading feel impossible for beginners.
Gummely introduces Kanji gradually. We generate stories where you know 98% of the words, so when a new Kanji appears, the context tells you the meaning. It's the least painful way to learn to read Japanese.
Japanese is an 'agglutinative' language, meaning words are built by gluing parts together. It allows for incredibly nuanced expression.
We generate Japanese stories exactly at your level (98% known words) so you learn by osmosis, not memorization.
Practice Japanese conversation with our AI Avatars. No judgment, no anxiety. Just pure practice.
Watch your Japanese vocabulary galaxy grow as the system tracks every single word you've mastered.
"Finally, an app that doesn't just drill flashcards. Reading actual stories is the only way the Kanji finally stuck in my brain."

Gummely focuses on Comprehensible Input rather than translation drills. We generate Japanese stories exactly at your vocabulary level to facilitate natural acquisition.
