## What is JLPT Tango Plus?

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, review words repeatedly through a simple learning flow, and test what you have learned with Quiz Mode.

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.

[Main Features]

1. 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.

2. Cumulative Decks
   Decks contain 20 words by default and are organized cumulatively. For example, Deck 1 includes words 1–20, Deck 2 includes words 1–40, and Deck 3 includes words 1–60. You can also customize the deck size in increments of 10 words, allowing you to learn new vocabulary while naturally reviewing previously studied words.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Review Count Tracking
   The app records how many times you complete each deck. Review badges help you easily check your progress and stay motivated.

6. Japanese Pronunciation Audio
   Listen to Japanese word pronunciation using your device’s Japanese text-to-speech feature. You can check pronunciation even without a network connection.

7. Color-Coded Kanji Reading Types
   Kanji reading types are shown with different colors, including on’yomi, kun’yomi, jukujikun, and ateji. This helps you notice reading differences while memorizing words.

8. Hiragana and Katakana Charts
   Review hiragana and katakana charts, including basic sounds, voiced sounds, and semi-voiced sounds. Tap each cell to hear its pronunciation.

9. Word Writing Practice
   Practice JLPT vocabulary by writing words yourself.

10. Quiz Mode
    Test what you have learned by solving vocabulary questions. Quiz Mode helps you check how well you remember each word and reinforce your vocabulary through active recall.

11. Personal Vocabulary Deck
    Add your own words and create a personal vocabulary deck. You can save expressions from textbooks, classes, anime, dramas, travel, or daily study.

12. Light / Dark / System Theme
    Choose light mode, dark mode, or system theme for a comfortable learning experience.

13. Data Reset
    Reset your study records and saved data whenever you want to start again from the beginning.

### 1/5 — 음성 예문 문제가 많네요.

*2026-07-31*

N1 재취득 겸 구매했는데 음성은 쇳소리가 나고 끊겨서 안 쓰게 되고, 예문은 이상해서 조사해 보면 말이 안 되거나 전혀 안 쓰는 표현들이네요.
심지어 N5에 これは何ですか？
도 なにですか？로 표기해 놓았더군요.
기본적인 읽는 법조차 틀리고 일본어를 조금이라도 아시는 분이 제작했다는 생각이 들지 않네요.
계속 사용하기 어려울 것 같습니다.

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요, JLPT Tango 팀입니다.

먼저 음성과 예문 품질로 인해 학습에 불편을 드린 점 진심으로 사과드립니다.

음성은 앱 용량과 기기 호환성을 고려하여 OS에 내장된 음성 기능을 사용하고 있어, 기기 및 음성 설정에 따라 품질 차이가 발생할 수 있습니다. 현재 앱 설정 페이지에서 더 자연스러운 음성을 사용할 수 있도록 음성 설정 가이드를 제공하고 있으니 참고 부탁드립니다.

이와 별개로 더욱 안정적이고 자연스러운 음성을 제공할 수 있는 대안도 개발팀과 함께 검토하겠습니다.

고객님께서 문의해 주신 단어와 예문의 품질 검수 작업은 완료되었으며, 개선 사항이 반영된 1.3.0 버전이 현재 심사 중입니다. 업데이트가 배포되면 검수된 단어와 예문으로 학습하실 수 있습니다.

앞으로도 단어와 예문을 지속적으로 검수하여 더욱 정확하고 품질 높은 학습 콘텐츠를 제공할 수 있도록 최선을 다하겠습니다.

소중한 의견을 전달해 주셔서 감사드리며, 불편을 드린 점 다시 한번 사과드립니다.
