Yes. The installed foundation path starts with greetings and selected kana and number samples, then adds focused sentence patterns and reading practice.
Does it include speaking practice?
The practice flow includes speak-back prompts so learners are not only recognizing words, but also producing them.
Will it work on mobile?
Yes. Kurota is designed mobile-first, so lessons stay quick, controls stay reachable, and practice steps remain readable on smaller screens.
