Most Japan prep tools are either full language courses or phrasebooks that fall apart the moment you're actually there. Pooki requires zero Japanese knowledge. In less than 1 hour you'll know the essentials: exit signs, konbini survival, how to order food, temple etiquette. No grammar. No hiragana. No prior study. Cards split into what you'll see on signs and what you'll say out loud. Mobile-friendly. Free to play in the browser.
Hey PH! 👋 A friend asked me if he should learn Japanese before his trip japan and I realized there was nothing in between "take a full course" and "just wing it."
Pooki is my answer to that gap. It's been really fun to build and I've learned a ton about Japanese culture along the way.
Would love feedback from anyone who's traveled to Japan especially: what's one word or sign you wish you'd known before your first trip?
