JLPT Tango Plus is a Japanese vocabulary app for learners preparing for the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT).
The “Tango” in the app name comes from the Japanese word 単語(たんご), which means “word.” The moment you see the app name, you have already learned your first Japanese word.
From beginner N5 to advanced N1, you can study JLPT vocabulary by level and review words repeatedly through a simple, focused learning flow.
Instead of just looking at words once, JLPT Tango Plus uses a learning queue. Words you mark as memorized are removed from the current queue, while words you are unsure about are sent to the back of the queue. This helps you naturally review the words you have not fully memorized yet.
JLPT N5–N1 Vocabulary Decks
Study vocabulary by JLPT level: N5, N4, N3, N2, and N1. Whether you are just starting Japanese or preparing for advanced vocabulary, you can learn at your own level.
Cumulative Decks in Sets of 50 Words
Decks are organized cumulatively in 50-word units. For example, Deck 1 includes words 1–50, Deck 2 includes words 1–100, and Deck 3 includes words 1–150. You can learn new words while naturally reviewing previous ones.
Learning Queue for Repeated Review
Each new study session shuffles the word order. Words marked as “Memorized” are removed from the queue, and words marked as “Not Memorized” move to the end. This lets you focus more on the words you still need to review.
Continue Learning
Your current learning queue is saved even if you leave the app. When you return, you can continue right where you left off, making it easy to study during commutes, breaks, or short free moments.
Review Count Tracking
The app records how many times you complete each deck. Review badges help you easily check your progress and stay motivated.
