どうやって 入った
A sample lesson
The line above is from Urusei Yatsura. The underlined どうやって is the one new thing. You'd have learned the rest in an earlier lesson:
- 入った means "entered"
どうやって入った
Show meaning Hide meaning
どうやって how, by what means
How did you get in?
After a lesson, the sentence comes back for review, a little later each time you remember it.

Before your first lesson
Setup asks whether you read hiragana and katakana, and points you to a short kana trainer if you don't yet. If you've studied before, you can import what you already know.
