It’s easy to start learning Japanese with WordDive. Complete the courses at your own pace online.
The courses are designed by Finnish teachers and recorded and proofread by native speakers.
Studying Japanese with WordDive is efficient, because the method activates your brain in many ways through multiple senses. You’ll see, think, read, write, listen and pronounce.
The learning path is clear and easy to follow. WordDive recognises your learning speed and optimises the pace of learning for you individually!
Japanese has over 130 million native speakers and is spoken mainly in Japan. The popularity of Japanese culture (cosplay, anime, manga, martial arts) has rapidly increased interest in Japanese also as a foreign language.
Japanese is an agglutinative language, which means that words are formed by adding various endings to the word stem.
The different writing systems, levels of politeness and indirect communication make the Japanese language a fascinating hobby where you can learn and improve your skills almost endlessly!
Because Japanese has so few syllables, there are plenty of homonyms in the language. To avoid misunderstandings, we need characters that carry not only sounds, but also meanings.
The characters known as kanji were born from drawings, which were simplified to try to create a harmonious square form. In addition to kanji, there are two other writing systems.
Japanese can therefore be written in three ways:
Romaji characters were created for the purpose of writing Japanese using the Latin alphabet. They are used when learning Japanese, but also in things like logos or when typing Japanese on a computer. You can get off to a good start with learning Japanese when you study the language using the Latin alphabet.

WordDive is one of the best online language courses that I have ever used. I thought I was really bad at languages, but with WordDive I have learned more than 300 study items permanently in a short time. Sometimes I study more than 2 hours per day. Even then it doesn’t feel like I’m spending a long time studying because it’s so fun and rewarding.

The efficiency is way better than it would be in school. The program tells you when you are making progress or when you are too tired and should take a break. WordDive has become a daily companion for me. I enjoy studying and becoming better. It’s also nice to notice that you can learn new things even at this age.

WordDive is very addictive, and the words stick to your mind. As a researcher of digitalization, I can say that WordDive is an excellent example of gamification, because in WordDive, the motivation comes from outside the game: improving your language skills. It’s nice to attend meetings now that I can express myself properly.
