A real path

Not just watching — a clear path forward.

Every word you save comes back on a spaced-repetition schedule — a few minutes a day is enough.

  • Review cards: read, listen, type kana or romaji.
  • A daily goal and a learning streak.
  • Reminders at the time you choose.

Learning pays off.

Coins are earned only by learning — never bought with real money.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Furi cost?

Furi starts with a free trial of Furi Pro; after it, a monthly or yearly plan keeps every feature. No ads, and you can cancel anytime in the App Store or Google Play.

Can I start from zero?

Yes. When you start, you pick your level, from "Brand new" (no hiragana yet) to "N2 or above", and Furi suggests videos and lessons to match.

Can I buy coins with money?

No. Coins and shards are earned only by learning, have no cash value and can’t be moved between accounts.

A subtitle or translation is wrong?

Subtitles, translations and readings are generated automatically, so they are sometimes wrong. Tell us on the in-app feedback board, with the video’s name.
