Online Japanese Course
Transparent Japanese is the fruit of a longstanding language education house focusing on the modern digital world of learning. It's not free but it's also not expensive, and is well worth the investment.
Interactive, Social, Cultural and Mobile Japanese Learning
Where Transparent excels is in the details. Their newest Japanese course offers a one-stop learning flow which - as you advance and select your learning media - tuned to your unique interests and needs. Built on sound learning methodology honed from real-world experience, Transparent Japanese is available on mobile devices including iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Android.

Japanese Software Tools for all Learning Levels
For the first-time Japanese learner, Transparent offers a path to follow: The Essentials Course accompanied by the Alphabet Explorer and Grammar Reference. From there, learners solidify this foundation with the unique Byki™ vocablary building and pronunciation training software (more below), which Transparent has been tuning and tweaking for something like a decade. As they progress, learners can explore and use more content using the Language Reference tool, all the while being consistently refreshed on what has already been studied.
