BEFORE YOU BEGIN
A few good questions.
Do I need to know kanji?
No. Hiragana, romaji, and furigana give you ways to read while you build your Japanese vocabulary.
Is Pictango free to start?
Yes. You can start learning without a subscription. Premium unlocks access beyond the free learning allowance. See the app for current subscription details.
Is this a complete Japanese course?
Pictango focuses on vocabulary. Images, definitions, example sentences, and review help you build your word knowledge. Use it alongside grammar, listening, and conversation practice.
Do I need an account?
No Pictango account or sign-in is required to start learning.
Can I study offline?
You need a connection when opening the app. Once it is running, you can continue learning with the available cards offline.
What if I notice a content mistake?
Images, definitions, and example sentences can contain errors. Use the card’s report option or contact support. Check a trusted source when precision matters.
