Nihongo Chat

Study JLPT vocabulary and grammar for any level — N5 through N1 — with a spaced-repetition system that shows you words right before you're about to forget them.

PICK YOUR LEVEL Choose N5, N4, N3, N2, or N1 and study just that level's words — no advanced grammar thrown at a beginner, no basics slowing down an advanced learner. Switch levels anytime as you progress.

STUDY THE WAY MEMORY ACTUALLY WORKS This app uses spaced repetition (SRS) — the same proven technique behind tools like Anki — to show you words right before you're about to forget them. Grade each card Again, Hard, Good, or Easy, and the app schedules your next review automatically.

DAILY CHECK-INS A friendly daily reminder — different and a little playful each day — nudges you to keep your streak going, right from your lock screen or inside the app.

WHAT'S INCLUDED • Try free with 5 vocabulary words and 5 grammar patterns — no account, no time limit, no ads • Real, dictionary-verified vocabulary across all five JLPT levels, including an 800+ card hand-picked N1 set with usage notes and example sentences (many with two examples for extra context) • Tap any Japanese word or sentence to hear it spoken aloud • Multiple-choice quiz mode to test recall under exam-like pressure • A streak counter and review calendar to track your consistency

BUILD YOUR OWN DECK Look up any word in the built-in 214,000+ entry Japanese dictionary and add it to your deck by hand, anytime — free preview or full library.

ONE UNLOCK, EVERYTHING INCLUDED Unlock the full library for $29.99 — a single one-time purchase, not a subscription. That covers every level, N5 through N1, plus bulk-importing your own card lists from a CSV or spreadsheet, if you're studying from a specific textbook or word list.

PRIVACY FIRST Everything runs entirely on your device. No account, no login, no data collection, nothing sent anywhere.
