## What is Tango Japanese?

Memorizing Japanese words without context? Tango helps you learn vocabulary through SRS flashcards, AI-generated examples, short stories, audio review, and instant dictionary lookup.

Whether you are preparing for JLPT N5-N1, reviewing textbook vocabulary, or learning words from Japanese media, Tango turns isolated words into sentences, stories, and listening practice so they are easier to remember and use.

Why Tango works

• Learn with SRS flashcards
Review words at the right time with a spaced repetition system designed for long-term memory.

• Study JLPT vocabulary
Use built-in decks for JLPT N5-N1 and beginner-to-advanced Japanese vocabulary.

• Read AI stories from your words
Select words and generate short stories at your level, so vocabulary becomes meaningful in context.

• Get natural example sentences
Create Japanese examples with furigana, translation, and difficulty control.

• Tap any word to look it up
Check meanings, readings, and related expressions without leaving your study flow.

• Listen while you review
Play words and example sentences like an audio playlist for passive review.

• Practice output, not just recall
Use translation practice and voice input to check whether you can actually use the words.

Tango is free to start. Upgrade to Pro to unlock more AI story generation, advanced deck customization, and flexible AI model settings for a more personalized study experience.
