Scripts-first method

Built to get you reading and speaking — from day one

Most learners worry the scripts are impossible. Our N5 course starts you on Hiragana and Katakana from the first week and builds Kanji through structured workshops — while you speak out loud in every class. You go from "I can't read any of this" to reading and holding a simple conversation, because you practise live, not by watching videos.

You read real Japanese script from week one
You speak out loud in every single class
Trainers correct you kindly — never harshly

Apps teach you words. A structured live class gets you reading Kanji and speaking.

That's why every LingoThoughts class is built around live practice — you leave each session having actually read and spoken Japanese out loud.

Transparent pricing

Exam preparation

Preparing for the JLPT?

Every level is built around the exam — so when you sit N5, N4 or N3, the format, the Kanji and the listening speed are already familiar.

JLPT-aligned syllabus

Every level maps to the real N5–N3 exam format — vocabulary, grammar, reading and the Kanji count for each level.

Kanji & script workshops

Structured Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji — from your first ~100 characters at N5 to 600+ by N3.

Mock tests & strategy

Full JLPT mock tests and section-by-section exam strategy, so the format is already familiar on exam day.
