Speak Japanese
in 90 days

There's no easy way to master Japanese — but there is an efficient one. NOVAS strips your curriculum down to only what gets you speaking, so every hour of hard work counts. That's how 90 days is enough.

Hear it from our founding students

Real feedback from inside Cohort 1.

“I’ve bought and tried so many apps and methods — Duolingo, italki, college classes, textbooks, you name it. The most any of them gave me was hiragana and some scattered vocabulary.

NOVAS has genuinely been a game changer. The way concepts are explained is completely different — I catch myself sitting at my desk nodding and thinking, ‘naruhodo… this finally makes sense.’ It guides you step by step instead of throwing everything at you at once, and you can really feel it was designed with care for the student.

After just one month, it feels like my ears have opened up — I’m catching vocabulary and expressions in the anime and manga I enjoy every day that I would have completely missed before. Honestly, it has been a masterpiece of an experience.”

“The program is great because it helps you focus only on what matters, so you learn faster — the vocab decks drill exactly what’s important. And sensei is great.”

The Methodology

Why NOVAS?

How is it possible to speak Japanese with confidence in just 90 days?

explore

Data-Driven Personalization

Study only what you actually need.
Generic textbooks force everyone into the same mold. Our proprietary diagnostic, the NOVAS Compass, pinpoints your exact blind spots and generates a hyper-personalized roadmap — not a single minute spent on material you don't need.

hub

The Complete Ecosystem

Stop juggling multiple language apps.
Memorizing flashcards on one app and chatting randomly on another doesn't lead to fluency. NOVAS is one seamless ecosystem — science-based vocabulary, logic-first grammar, and focused speaking practice, each feeding directly into the next.

Ruthless Efficiency

Real conversations in just 90 days.
You don't have years to waste on outdated textbook formalities. We strip away the fluff and focus exclusively on the high-ROI language actually used in Japan. This lean, results-oriented curriculum is built for rapid breakthroughs.

Step-by-Step Pipeline

The NOVAS Ecosystem

A seamless, proven cycle designed to make real conversation inevitable.

Phase 1 / Diagnosis

NOVAS Compass

Know exactly where you are. Know exactly where to go next.

A weekly assessment that identifies your precise weak points — not just what you got wrong, but why you got it wrong. No two students follow the same path.

layers
Phase 2 / Vocabulary

NOVAS Deck

Acquire essential vocabulary at maximum speed.

Our built-in SRS resurfaces every card at the exact moment you're about to forget it. 1,500 words and 500 kanji — the vocabulary actually used in real-world conversation, with native audio on every card.

Phase 3 / Grammar

NOVAS Schema

Stop memorizing examples. Start understanding the system.

Japanese grammar is much simpler than textbooks make it seem. Driven by our proprietary MSB Framework™ (Modular Sentence Building), you will master core structures through a logical, plug-and-play schema instead of relying on blind memorization.
