October 26, 2026 | Product Updates

Brain Bloom LLC is pleased to announce that Kotoba Tanken, our Japanese vocabulary learning app for young children, now supports 34 interface languages on iOS.

This major multilingual update makes it easier for children, parents, and educators around the world to explore Japanese words, sounds, and culture through playful, interactive learning.

Making Japanese Learning More Accessible

Learning a new language can be an exciting experience, especially for young children.

However, getting started with Japanese can sometimes feel challenging for families who are unfamiliar with the language.

With support for 34 interface languages, Kotoba Tanken helps more families navigate the learning experience in a language they understand, while discovering Japanese vocabulary through illustrations, audio, and simple quizzes. The interface languages help families use the app; the learning content focuses on Japanese.

Whether children are growing up in bilingual households, learning Japanese as a new language, or exploring their Japanese heritage, Kotoba Tanken offers a gentle and engaging introduction.

Discover Japanese Words Through Play

Designed with young learners in mind, Kotoba Tanken offers a variety of educational activities:

• Everyday Japanese Vocabulary: Explore words related to animals, food, vehicles, household objects, and more.
• Hiragana and Katakana: Discover Japanese characters and practice stroke order.
• Japanese Onomatopoeia: Learn expressive Japanese sound-symbolic words such as doki doki (a pounding heart) and pika pika (sparkling or shining).
• Japanese Culture and Seasons: Discover traditional events, seasonal expressions, and everyday cultural objects.
• Flashcards and Quizzes: Reinforce learning with colorful illustrations, Japanese audio, and playful challenges.

The app is designed to make early Japanese learning approachable, enjoyable, and accessible to children with different language backgrounds.

Supporting Multilingual Families Around the World

The expansion to 34 languages reflects Brain Bloom's commitment to making educational experiences more accessible across borders.

By providing a multilingual interface, Kotoba Tanken allows parents and children to explore Japanese learning materials without needing to understand Japanese instructions from the beginning.

Our goal is to help children build curiosity about language, discover new words, and develop an interest in Japanese culture through everyday play.
