Content at your level is rarely interesting. Interesting content is rarely at your level. Katarineko bridges that gap: pick a film, and you get stories written from its vocabulary and grammar, teaching the words that unlock the most of it.
少年は帳面に名前を書いた。それを返してもらうまで、三日かかった。
Every word came out of the film you chose. Nothing here is above your level by accident.
Katarineko helps you get from "I know Hiragana" to "I can watch Spirited Away". After that, if all goes well, you won't need Katarineko anymore!
Choose from the catalogue or drop in your own subtitles. We read the whole script and rank every word by how much of the film it unlocks.
Know it / Nope. That is enough to estimate your vocabulary and how much of the film you would understand today.
Each story is written from the film and written slightly above your level. Save any sentences you want to review.
Hover any phrase and you get its reading, the words inside it, and what the grammar is doing.
老婆は袖の中から古い帳面を取り出した。
から marks the source of the action — where the notebook came out of.
