PraktikaQuestions about learning Japanese with Praktika
Quick answers before you downloadHow do I start learning Japanese on Praktika?

You can change your goal, level or tutor later in Settings.
Is Praktika a good app to learn Japanese from zero?
Yes. Praktika is an app to learn Japanese language skills through conversation, and complete beginners get explanations in English from the first lesson.
As your level grows, your tutor uses more Japanese. The setup quiz places you between A1 and C2, so your plan starts where you are.
Is Japanese hard to learn?
Japanese is one of the harder languages for English speakers. Pronunciation is friendly, with five vowel sounds, but word order and grammar work differently from English. The US Foreign Service Institute puts Japanese in its hardest group, at about 88 weeks of full-time study.
The tricky parts are particles like は, が and に, and the polite forms that change with who you're talking to. With Praktika you practice them out loud and get corrected in the moment, which is how they start to stick.
How long does it take to learn Japanese with Praktika?
It depends on how often you practice. On average, 73% of active learners gain a full CEFR level in about 20 hours of practice, and your own pace may differ.
Frequent short sessions work better than occasional long ones. If you want a Japanese speaking practice app for your commute or lunch break, aim for 10 to 15 minutes most days.
Learning Japanese: app or private tutor?
Private tutors are a common way to learn Japanese online, at $50 to $120 an hour plus scheduling. Praktika Premium costs around $8 a month, about the same as a typical Japanese learning app subscription, with prices set per market.
Some learners use both. Praktika covers the daily speaking practice between lessons, and you can make mistakes without anyone watching.
Can I practice Japanese with ChatGPT instead?
ChatGPT can hold a conversation in Japanese, but it doesn't follow a study plan for your level or score your pronunciation as you speak.
Praktika is an app for learning Japanese with a tutor who remembers past sessions, follows your study plan and explains mistakes in English.
How is Praktika different from other learn Japanese apps?
Many apps teach recognition through matching pairs and tapping answers. Praktika is built for speaking, so every lesson is a conversation you have out loud.
That matters if you've watched anime for years and still freeze when it's time to talk. Short daily sessions also make it easier to stay consistent.
Can my company pay for my Japanese practice?
Yes. Praktika for Business gives teams the same app with all 14 languages in one license, plus a dashboard that tracks progress by CEFR level.
Teams can start with a one-month trial for up to three people, with no credit card needed. Share Praktika for Business with your HR or L&D team.
