実有

The meaning of Miaru

Miaru is a blend of our founder's two daughters' names. In Japanese we write it 実有: 実 (mi) means truth, reality and bearing fruit, and 有 (aru) means to exist, to be filled with. Together: filled with truth and substance. It's a reminder that learning is personal, joyful and built on love.

Our mission

Break down the barriers

We break down the barriers to learning. Knowledge connects us to the world, so Miaru makes learning playful and welcoming for everyone: 35 languages to learn from, lessons short enough for any day, and a friend cheering you on.

What we believe

Four things we never skip

  • Real life first

    Every unit is a place you'll really go and something you'll really say. The ticket machine, not the textbook.

  • Play is the point

    Combos, streaks and parties aren't decoration. They're why you come back tomorrow.

  • Your language first

    Miaru speaks 35 languages, so you learn from the one you know best.

  • Mistakes are welcome

    A miss gets a “so close”, the right answer, and another go in a later lesson.

Five worlds

Five worlds to explore

Each course is set in a real place, from Tokyo and Mexico City to New York, Beijing and Seoul.

Your language

Made for learners in 35 languages

Miaru speaks 35 languages, and all five courses are taught in every one of them, except the language each course teaches.

A global team of curious minds
