Skill counts are practice evidence only — not CEFR or JLPT certificates.
Reading Studio
Short A1 passages with tap-to-gloss, furigana, and comprehension checks on unfamiliar text.
OpenListening Lab
Dialogues with offline audio. The transcript stays hidden until you submit answers.
OpenKanji in context
Beginner kanji taught through words, readings, radicals, and review cards.
OpenWriting
Constrained tasks are graded deterministically. Journal entries are self-reported practice evidence.
OpenSpeaking
Recordings stay on this computer. Deny the microphone and the rest of KOTO still works.
OpenHandwriting
Trace or freehand kana and beginner kanji. Tracing is practice, not handwriting certification.
OpenConversation
Offline guided conversations for everyday beginner situations.
OpenLocal tutor (optional)
Uses loopback Ollama only when installed. Core KOTO never requires a model.
OpenJLPT-format practice (optional)
Short KOTO-authored items that look a bit like exam multiple choice — not official JLPT.
OpenContent review status
Inventory for gradual publishing. Items stay needs-native-review until a real editorial pass.
OpenDictionary
Curated beginner entries with readings, senses, and examples. Original glosses; not a full JMdict dump.

What you can practice now
