## What is JLPT Word Samurai?

JLPT Samurai Wordbook is the ultimate vocabulary learning app designed for JLPT exam preparation at every level, from beginner N5 all the way up to advanced N1. Built around a proven study system combining audio, text, and testing, all wrapped in a motivating samurai stamp-rally experience.

Key Features

Text Study Mode
Browse vocabulary in groups of 50 words. Each word card shows the Japanese character, reading (furigana), example sentence, and a native audio button. Mark words as "Memorized" or "Review" to track your progress.

Audio Study Mode
Learn with your ears first. Characters are hidden so you focus on listening. Reveal text when ready with a tap. Perfect for commuting and multitasking.

Samurai Sprint
A 7-day learning cycle visualized as a snake-grid stamp-rally map. Study words through text lists, flashcards, or audio sessions, then take a multiple-choice quiz. Score 85% or above to earn a special samurai stamp! Daily streaks keep you on track.

Detailed Word Info
View On'yomi, Kun'yomi, part of speech, synonyms, and antonyms for each word. Deepen your understanding beyond just memorization.

Daily Reminders
Set a custom notification time to build a consistent study habit.

Multilingual UI
App interface available in Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
