## What is YoruLearn?

YoruLearn helps Japanese learners move beyond recognizing kanji and start recalling, writing, and using them. Study from JLPT N5 to N1 with handwriting practice, focused quizzes, pronunciation, grammar resources, and a study-focused dictionary.
Open the app, see what needs review, and begin a focused practice session. YoruLearn connects your answers to your learning progress so you can spend more time on weaker material and less time repeating what you already know.
STUDY JAPANESE WITH:
• JLPT vocabulary organized by level
• Kanji handwriting and stroke-order practice
• Hiragana and katakana writing drills
• Vocabulary and grammar quizzes
• Japanese pronunciation playback and optional autoplay
• Dictionary search across JLPT N5–N1
• New, Learning, Learned, and Needs Review states
• Focused study sessions with clearer progress estimates
• Optional study reminders
BUILT FOR ACTIVE RECALL
YoruLearn is designed for active practice rather than passive scrolling. Mark familiar material, review difficult characters, practice handwriting, and return to the areas that need your attention.
OPTIONAL PREMIUM
Core study features remain available without requiring an account. YoruLearn Premium adds JLPT Level Check, level-specific mock exams, advanced recommendations, smart dictionary filters, and an ad-free experience while your subscription is active.
YoruLearn is an independent study tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the JLPT organizers.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-11

YoruLearn 1.1 makes your Japanese study system smarter.

This update focuses on helping you know what you know, what needs review, and what to study next.

New and improved:
- Added Dictionary search for JLPT vocabulary and kanji.
- Search across vocabulary and kanji from N5 to N1.
- Dictionary cards now show learning progress and kanji status.
- Word details include quick practice actions.
- Vocabulary quizzes now handle Already know correctly.
- Words marked Already know stop returning to your active queue.
- New words per session now means actual new words.
- Added a Learned filter for vocabulary study.
- Improved quiz progress counters.
- Added smarter session breakdown controls across study tabs.
- Added optional study reminders after finishing a quiz.
- Polished Dictionary filters, level selection, and word detail screens.
- Fixed stuck quiz states and smaller UI issues around study flow.

Dictionary is new, but the bigger change is how it connects to progress. You can search a word or kanji, see whether it is new, learning, learned, or needs review, then jump back into practice with better context.

This release also improves vocabulary sessions so study settings behave more predictably. New-word controls, learned filters, review queues, and quiz counters should now match what learners expect during real practice.
