Two new languages
We're excited to announce that Japanese and Chinese (Mandarin) are now available on Fluence. These were by far the two most requested languages from our community, and we're thrilled to finally deliver them.
Both languages include:
- Full A1 through B2 courses (C1 and C2 coming Q3 2026)
- Native audio pronunciation for every word and sentence
- All exercise types: translation, matching, fill-in-the-blank, and listening
- Spaced repetition optimized for character-based languages
What makes these courses special
Learning Japanese and Chinese is different from learning European languages. You're not just learning vocabulary — you're learning entirely new writing systems. We've adapted our courses accordingly:
Japanese includes dedicated Hiragana and Katakana recognition exercises in A1, with Kanji introduced gradually from A2 onwards. Romaji is available as a helper in early lessons but fades as you progress.
Chinese uses Pinyin alongside Simplified Chinese characters from the start. Tone exercises are integrated into every lesson because getting tones right is essential for comprehension.
Built with native speakers
Every lesson was created in collaboration with native speakers and professional language teachers. We didn't just translate our European courses — we built these from the ground up to respect the unique structure of each language.
Available now
Both languages are available today for all Premium and Family plan users. Free plan users can try Japanese or Chinese at A1 level (if it's your chosen free language).
Happy learning! 🇯🇵🇨🇳
