Now learning: Japanese Hiragana

Learn a new alphabet, one tile at a time.

Linguatile turns the hardest part of learning a language — memorizing the character set — into a set of short, colorful tile games. Match, drop, and collect tiles with spaced repetition baked in, and watch an alphabet you couldn't read a week ago start to click.

How it works

Every character in an alphabet becomes a tile — colorful, memorable, and tied to a word you already know. You unlock tiles by playing.

🁢

Play short games

Matching, drops, and word-building games introduce each tile in a few minutes at a time — no long study sessions required.

🔁

Spaced repetition

Tiles you've already learned resurface right as you're about to forget them, so recall sticks instead of fading.

🗝️

Unlock the alphabet

Collect tiles one at a time until you can recognize — and eventually read — the full character set.

Alphabets on the way

Linguatile is launching with Japanese hiragana. More character sets are planned as the tile library grows.

A little culture with every tile

Word tiles are paired with imagery from the language they come from, so the alphabet sticks to something real.
