Study card for いぬ: a dog picture, the English meaning dog, and the kanji 犬. — Sound, reading and meaning on one card.

Listen, then recall

Hear the word. Recall the meaning.

New words introduce their sound, picture and meaning together. Once you have studied a word, a short pause holds back the picture and meaning so you can try to remember.

Tap to reveal sooner, or turn the pause off. Play all reads through your available words, with a choice of speech speeds and Shuffle.

Today's round introduces はな with a flower picture, the English meaning flower, and the kanji 花. — Meet a new word before practicing it.

A daily habit

A short round, then review when it is due

Today's round starts with due reviews and introduces up to seven new words. Missed words return a few questions later. As you answer correctly, reviews spread further apart.

The questions change as a word becomes more familiar. Match a spoken word to a picture, read kana, or choose the Japanese word for an English meaning.

An optional reminder brings you back to a word with its picture. Free practice is available from the Test menu when you want another round.

Audio uses a Japanese voice installed on your iPhone. Setup helps you choose one or download an enhanced voice from Apple. After voice setup, vocabulary study and pictures work offline.

Choose kana or kanji first, show or hide romaji, and search in Japanese or English. Study progress stays on your iPhone. An account is not required.

A focused vocabulary tool

The word list draws on third-party N5, N4 and N3 study lists, with dictionary meanings and frequency sources credited in the app. It is vocabulary practice, not a complete Japanese course or an official JLPT syllabus.
