THE JAPANOLEARN INITIATIVE

A little support for people making Japanese learning better

I'm Tanmay. I have been learning Japanese for the past 8 years, currently working and living in Japan. I set aside a bit of money and send it to open-source apps, tools, and community projects that help people learn Japanese. No company, no nonprofit. Just want to help the community and support projects which make learning more accessible for everyone.

Open source • Small scale • No strings attached

What I Like to Support

If a project helps people learn Japanese and shares its work openly, I'd love to hear about it. The project can be yours or someone else's.

Open Source Apps

Mobile apps, desktop applications, or web tools that make Japanese learning more effective and accessible.

🛠️

Learning Tools

Features, APIs, libraries, datasets, or educational resources that other creators and learners can build on.

Community Projects

Platforms, forums, or services that bring Japanese learners together and foster collaborative learning. I am not sure about many if you have any good platform which needs small support, please let me know.

How It Works

Let's have a quick conversation.

1

Tell Me About It

Email me about a project, what it does, who it helps, and a link if there is one.

2

A Quick Chat

We'll talk a bit about the project and what a small contribution could go toward.

I Chip In

I send a small one-off amount to help the project along. That's it. I don't have much money but let me know if I can help :D

Small Projects Helping Small Projects

This is a modest, personal effort; one learner trying to support other people who care about making Japanese learning better.

Goodwill, Not Business

No expectations, no equity, no contracts. Just a thank-you for good work.

Open By Default

I lean toward projects that share their work openly with others.

🌱

Practical Impact

Tools that solve real problems for real learners.
