Language learning you'll actually enjoy

Stop reading boring stuff
just to learn a language.

Pick a genre you love. Read a story at your level. Then answer 4 questions — recalling what you just read is what makes it stick.

Stories you actually want to read — magic, horror, romance...
Always readable — calibrated to your exact level
2-minute quiz after reading — so it sticks

Free during early access · No credit card · 2 minutes to start

Best for A2–B2 / JLPT N3–N2 learners who can read a bit — but forget everything later.

Everyone says: "Just read more."

So you open a news article you don't care about.

Or a book you can't understand.

You don't need more reading. You need to read better: at your level, about things you actually care about.

毎朝(まいあさ)、太陽(たいよう)が静(しず)かに昇(のぼ)ると、小(ちい)さな町(まち)が目(め)を覚(さ)ます。

English

Every morning, when the sun rises quietly, the small town wakes up.

From the bakery window, a warm fragrance drifts out.

The birds begin to sing, and a new day begins.

What makes this different

Four things no other app gives you together.

Read what you actually care about

Magic, horror, romance, news, dialogue — pick a genre, set the tone and length. Every text is calibrated to your level with just enough stretch to grow.

Never get stuck mid-sentence

Side-by-side, native, merge, or zen. Switch modes in one tap when your confidence changes.

Understand grammar where it appears

Tap any sentence for grammar notes. See if a pattern is above your level. Learn it where you found it.

Questions

Who is this for?

Learners around A2–B2 (CEFR) or N4–N2 (JLPT) who can read a little but struggle to retain vocabulary and grammar. If flashcards bore you and textbooks feel disconnected, this is for you.

How is this different from Duolingo, Anki, or LingQ?

Duolingo drills isolated sentences. Anki is pure memorization. LingQ imports real texts that are often too hard or too easy. Hikarilang generates full stories at your exact level, then quizzes you on what you just read — so context and retention work together.

How long is a session?

About 10–15 minutes. Read a story, then answer 4–6 questions. Short enough for a commute, long enough to make real progress.

What languages are supported?

Japanese is fully supported right now (JLPT N5–N1). More languages are coming — join early access to vote on what's next.
