日本語
Japanese
Japanese takes English speakers about 2,200 class hours, roughly four times Spanish. Most of that time is vocabulary and readings. Koboshi saves the words you meet and brings them back before you forget.
اردو
Urdu
Urdu has about 78 million native speakers and 168 million more who use it as a second language. Koboshi shows each word in Nastaliq with Roman Urdu underneath and brings it back before you forget it.
English
English
English has about 390 million native speakers and roughly 1.1 billion who learned it. Its grammar is light and its vocabulary is enormous, so vocabulary is where the work is. Koboshi saves the words you meet and returns them before you forget.
Español
Spanish
Spanish is the fastest major language for an English speaker to learn, at about 600 class hours, partly because thousands of words are already half-known. Koboshi saves the words you meet and returns them before you forget.
Koboshi itself supports 21 learnable languages. More guides are written one at a time.
