It is indeed SEO spam, although atypically well written and informative. At the bottom of the post, they encourage you to pay $2/day (!!) for their learning service hosted at a real .com domain.

The spam pattern becomes clearer if you look at the posting history for articles from this site: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=learnjapanese.best It's a pretty consistent pattern of once every couple of days.
If you look at the post history for the spammer's main account, they try to disguise their spamming by posting a few miscellaneous Wikipedia articles and the like between posting their site: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=sova
You can also see them experimenting with spamming their other sites as well; the poster is always the same individual.
