Etiqo showing Japan: harmony first, read the room before you speak
Explore

Two hundred countries, read before you land

Greetings, the table, dress, gestures, money, and the local rules worth knowing. Written as what to expect and what will be expected of you, never as a claim about a people.

Every country is written to the same depth, so the one nobody else covers reads as fully as the one everybody does.

A real course, not a phrasebook

Language courses that build: vocabulary, sentences, a grammar pack, and a route you work through stop by stop. Nothing is ever tested before it has been taught.

Non-Latin scripts are taught properly. Start Japanese and you learn hiragana first, arriving a few characters at a time, exactly when the words need them.

Short lessons that get harder

Read it, hear it, choose it, then build it. Words come back on a spaced schedule, and the questions get more demanding as you hold on to them.

Every course speaks out loud, so you hear a word before you are asked to use it.

Pick by where you are going

Languages are ranked by how many destinations they open, not by how popular they are. Each one says plainly how deep it goes, so you know before you start whether you are getting a full course or the traveller essentials.

Every one of them is free in this version.

Cultural profile

How things tend to work here

Formality, punctuality, directness, personal space. The dimensions that decide whether you read as polite or as rude, on a scale you can compare between two countries at a glance.

Then a quiz, once you have read enough to have earned it.
