Raicho

Simple apps for learning a language, built around short, frequent practice: the kind you'll actually keep doing.

The raichō is a snow grouse that lives above the treeline in the Japanese Alps and somehow declines to leave for the winter. It is not fast and it is not fierce. It just keeps showing up, season after season, which is more or less the entire theory of how you learn a language.

So the Raicho apps are built for consistency instead of intensity. Small sessions. No streak guilt. Nothing that punishes you for missing a Tuesday.

The apps

Three ways to practice, designed to be used together or on their own. All three are in development for iPhone and iPad.

Nothing has shipped to the App Store yet. When it does, download links will appear here.
