- 3,000+ words with pictures
- We've carefully hand-picked pictures for thousands of words for you, so that you can learn Japanese visually! We have the ambition to hand-pick pictures for many more thousands of words.
- Make learning fun!
- Learning Japanese vocabulary with pictures certainly helps but we have plans to make it more fun by introducing games with pictures. Match words with pictures, guess a word from a picture and more!
- Spaced Repetition System (SRS)
- Kuma Learn has plans to help you learn Japanese vocabulary efficiently with a Spaced Repetition System (SRS). You'll be shown words that you don't know more often; words know well you'll be shown only every so often.

Frequently asked questions
- Why learn visually?
- Some words lend themselves well to visual presentation and that's why we want you to have a picture dictionary for Japanese: Kumadex.
- What about audial and kinaesthesic learning?
- There are some great books with audio supplements, such as Genki, as well as learning resources that use kinaesthesic techniques to help you learn (e.g. games), including WaniKani and DuoLingo. With Kuma Learn, you'll have a visual resource to learn from. Of course, Kuma Learn has plans to also have visual games, so stay tuned!
- What are the plans for the future?
- Kuma Learn is only just starting out! That means there's still lots to come. We've started with a picture dictionary (Kumadex) but we also plan to offer: a Spaced Repetition System (SRS) for learning efficiently; games to combine audial, kinaesthesic and visual learning; progress tracking to keep you motivated!
