Every mission needs a budget.

Cinema にほんご is built by one creator — a Japanese teacher who set out to help people who struggle to communicate.

I became a Japanese teacher because of a friend. They were struggling to communicate, and I wanted to help. I wanted to make a place where someone wearing that anxious look could finally feel safe.

Cinema にほんご is that place — a learning home for many, including those with dyslexia, hearing differences, or visual differences. So they can use it safely — on this site, no display ads, no third-party tracking, no popups. Just learning. Your support is what keeps it that way.
