This if the FREE version of JLPT Study, Level 1-5 Japanese Language Proficiency, containing all of level N5 Kanji (103) and all the roughly 714 words in the level N5 list.

This application will help you study the vocabulary for the Japanese Language Proficiency Tests (JLPT).

The JLPT (日本語能力試験 nihongo nōryoku shiken) is a standardized test for evaluating the Japanese language proficiency for non-japanese.

The study mode is based on interval as this will effectively reinforce your long term memory of the words.

The interval study will increase the time until next study for a word for each time the word is marked as known. If a word is not known, its score will be reduced and you will have to study it more often until its score has been restored. This makes you focus on words not yet memorized.

As each level contains quite a lot of words, the study set (number of words) can be limited. From the selected set, only the words valid for study (according to the chosen study mode) can be studied. Add more words if the number of due words is zero but you still want to move on.

Each time you start a new study, the selected words will be randomized. After the study session is over, you will see how many words you knew and also where you are in your goal to complete the level.

* Interval study
* Full set of compounds for each kanji
* Set study order to English, Japanese or random
* Customize study speed
* Include Kanji in Vocab when possible
* Include Romaji in Vocab when possible
* Focus study on Kanji / Hiragana connection in Vocab
* Quick review (scroll list)

If you do not yet know furigana (hiragana and katakana), make sure to learn it. Very important for studying Japanese. However, until you have mastered furigana there is an option to display romanji spelling.

Remember, even if your goal is not to pass the JLPT, you still can learn tons of new Japanese words to use in your everyday life.


Have fun and keep studying.

Good app but

Its really a good app, but it could really be better if we can choose the characters to learn

Not worth the price

Its not comprehensive enough to justify paying for it. The drawing of kanjis is not explained, nor are the basic translation.

Quite good

It would be nice to have kanji plus furigana when studying vocabulary instead of hiragana only currently. Also, being able to study kanjis grouped in increasing count of strokes would be nice.

Wirklich eine Hilfe

Die kleinen Tests sind hier als Multible-Choice aufgebaut, abgefragt wird abwechselnd nach Englisch oder Japanisch wobei dann entweder Hiragana, Katakana oder auch (einstellbar) Kanji abgefragt wird. Die Tests sind nicht zu schwierig und man kann Vobabeln beliebig hinzufügen oder auch nicht ;) - man wird also nicht direkt überrollt sondern fängt als default mit nur 10 Vokabeln an und kann dann mehr hinzufügen wenn man möchte. Was mir besonders gefällt ist, dass hier nicht nur Kanji gelernt werden, sondern auch die Kana-Kenntnisse sich nebenbei festigen. Man benötigt jedoch zwingend gutes English und zumindest Grundkenntnisse in Japanisch (vor allem Kana) würde ich anraten damit es Sinn macht.

Useful for learning and reviewing. But needs some work.

The free version only gives the most basic Japanese words and kanji for studying. However there are 750 of them so that easily gives You a lot more to study than some of the other tree apps . This is not a native app for the iPad ,So you have to use the 2x view to use the full screen. You can randomize the Words and it has a nice methodology which gives you the Words in both directions: 1. English and you have to pick the Correct Japanese word- 2. Japanese word and you guess the English meaning. It only moves on to the next set of words after you have correctly guessed the meanings of the words you missed. There is also a feature to tap again to move onto the next word . this is Convenient so you can learn or go review the current word. Summary: Good for learning and reviewing words. but not great for grammar or reading comprehension or listening skills . you Will need other study aids if you are studying above N3 level. Unite if I will buy the paid version.

Was great until...

Ok applet. Was great until they included adds which block out parts of the Kanji. Poor ad execution in the free version has made me hesitant to upgrade. The paid version would be unusable if it maintained these ads.

Was using it daily until...

I was planning on buying the app once I finish N5 (Im almost done) but, recently the adds just annoys me so much Im not using it anymore. MC questions are not the best way to learn and I try to hide the choices but if I cant remember the answer I look at the choices to give me a hint. The functionnality are limited and the adds are intrusive. Not sure I will risk buying it anymore. Sorry. Thanks anyway, it was nice while it last.
