Video call your tutor
Talk to Sofía face to face with live captions and a hint one tap away. Try five short calls for free; Pro gives you up to 25 minutes a day.
Good to know
The first two chapters teach hiragana and then katakana (194 characters), so you can read before you speak. Kanji arrive from A2. You learn the polite です and ます forms first, which is what you need with people you have just met.
