## What is Japanese Vocabulary & JLPT?

You know the Japanese word. You still miss it when someone says it at normal speed.

notaps Words turns commutes, walks, chores, and bedtime into hands-free Japanese listening practice. Open the app and words start playing: the word first, then a real sentence using it. Look when you can. Listen when you cannot. No account and no streak to defend.

■ Start with 50 words free

Try the complete learning loop before paying. After the free set, one purchase unlocks every level and unlimited pronunciation practice forever. No subscription. No ads.

■ Japanese vocabulary from JLPT N5 to N1

Move from beginner words into intermediate and advanced vocabulary. JLPT levels and pitch-accent information help you choose the right material and hear how a word is actually spoken.

■ Hear the word in a real sentence

Every card includes an example sentence. Turn the phone sideways to move from the word to context. Use dictation to hear, type, and catch the sounds that slipped past you.

■ Practice pronunciation in private

Listen to the model, speak into the microphone, and get a score immediately. Slow the model down when a sound is unclear, then try again.

■ Remember before it fades

Words return at widening intervals. A memory check shows what is fading and what to review next, using your own study history rather than a generic reminder.

■ Built for offline study

Words, sentences, and audio are stored on the device. Use it underground, on a plane, or on a limited connection. Your study record stays on your phone.

■ Japanese is the focus here; 20 languages are included

You can also learn English, Korean, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Turkish, Polish, Dutch, and Ukrainian in any supported language pair.

notaps is not a grammar course. It is for making words recognizable at real speed, with fewer taps and more listening.
