5 Levels

Study at your level: JLPT 4 to JLPT 1, and an extra "Sensei" level (with all 6,000 kanji and 20,000 words).

4 Areas of Studies

  • Kana (hiragana and katakana).
  • Kanji (over 6,000 kanji):
    • Optional display of pronunciation (onyomi, kunyomi) and English meaning.
    • Special kanji-similarity algorithm, to make "intelligent guesses" more difficult (yes: this is mean, but so are the people who make the standardised tests you will take one day).
  • Vocabulary (over 20,000 words):

3 Modes

  • Drill mode: standard adaptive learning and fine-grained display options.
  • Quiz mode: timed answers and final score lets you play against yourself or friends.
  • Study mode: customisable sets of flashcards.

Adaptative learning

The application automatically focuses on your weak points. Entries will come back at specific intervals, depending on how well you are doing.

Progress Stats

Live bar charts: displaying your current performances for each level in each mode, real-time.
