Wakatta
Learn Japanese from the podcasts you already love
Wakatta turns real Japanese podcasts into tappable lessons: tap any word for its meaning + furigana, mark what you miss, review it later with spaced repetition, and an AI sensei explains the rest. Free, no account. iOS & Android.
Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm Mariano. I built Wakatta because the hardest jump in learning Japanese was going from textbook Japanese to *real* Japanese — the stuff people actually say on podcasts.
So Wakatta takes real Japanese podcasts and YouTube and makes every word tappable: tap for the meaning + furigana, mark what you didn't catch, and it comes back later in spaced-repetition review. When a whole sentence won't click, an AI sensei breaks it down. It's all built around listening — the skill that's hardest to train.
It's free and you can start without an account. I'm still learning Japanese myself, so I'm basically building the app I wanted. Would love your feedback — especially from fellow learners: what would make it click for you? 🎧
