Michi 道
Learn Japanese daily — a free, personalized roadmap
Michi turns "I should learn Japanese" into a daily plan. Answer 3 questions and get a personalized, week-by-week roadmap from JLPT N5 to N1 — built entirely on the best free resources, with honest, research-backed timelines. No account, no paywall, no fluff.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Michi out of frustration. Every "learn Japanese" app I tried did the same thing:
gamify me into a streak, then nudge me toward a subscription. A year later you've got a
300-day streak and still can't read a menu.
The truth is, the resources to learn Japanese for free are already incredible — Tae Kim,
Anki, WaniKani, NHK Easy News, the official JLPT practice tests. What's missing isn't content.
It's the map: what to do, in what order, this week, for your level and your schedule.
So Michi is that map. You answer 3 questions — where you're starting, how much time you have a
day, and your goal — and it generates a week-by-week roadmap from N5 all the way to N1, with
the exact free resource linked to every task.
A few things I care about:
• It's honest. Study hours come from Coto Academy & the Japan Foundation. N1 from zero is
~4,000 hours — a 2–3 year journey. Michi shows the real timeline at three paces instead of
promising "fluent in 3 months."
• No login, no paywall. Your email just saves your progress. Everything it points you to is
genuinely free.
• It's a tool, not a teacher. A skill tree unlocks as you tick off weeks; switch your pace
or goal and the whole plan regenerates.
It's free and live today — I'd love your honest feedback, especially from anyone who's studied
Japanese: what would you add to the roadmap? 🙏
