*We will continue to update and include the latest data.
*Audio will be added to all entries.

In this app, words are categorized by part of speech and listed in order of frequency of correct answers in past Eiken (English Proficiency Test) exams (the order of words with the same number of correct answers and frequency is random).
The Japanese translation uses the meaning that was answered correctly. For other meanings, we have adopted the meaning that multiple dictionaries list as the primary meaning.

You can review difficult words by repeatedly practicing and testing within the app, and using a vocabulary list that you can freely organize.

Select the category you want to practice (e.g., Adjectives A), and the settings screen will appear.
Set it as you like and press "Start Practice".

<15-Question Vocabulary Test>
In the "15-Question Test" in the lower left, 15 words from the selected category will be presented randomly.
The interval and order of questions will be optimized to make it easier to memorize English words.

After answering all 15 questions, your time and score will be displayed.

Answering quickly and correctly will earn you high points, and your history will be recorded in a graph.

The 15 questions from the test are displayed in a list, making it convenient for review.

Tapping the upper right corner of the "Japanese Translation" cell will check the word, and the checked word can be registered in the "Vocabulary List."

Check the words and tap "Select Vocabulary List" that appears in the lower right corner of the screen.

Seven vocabulary lists are available. You can also create your own original vocabulary list for words you struggle with.

English words can be automatically played back on the vocabulary list and word list pages.

The search page allows you to search by word, meaning, or pronunciation. You can move to a list categorized by part of speech from the searched word.

You can practice typing English words. This feature was implemented for practicing keyboard input, with an eye towards the writing section of computer-based certification exams.
