Learn Japanese faster. Master Japanese vocabulary by speaking aloud, with pronunciation checks, quizzes, spaced repetition, example sentences, conjugation tables, daily goals, and custom word lists. Improve your retention and recognition by speaking your way through the most common words required to pass Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). JLPT Speak checks your pronunciation, repeats each word after each attempt, and tracks your score over time, serving up the words you need to focus on more often. Reference full vocabulary lists for the most popular Japanese textbooks: Genki & Minna no Nihongo. Study at your own pace with small test sessions, daily goals, and a spaced repetition system (SRS) that tests more difficult words more frequently, while better-known words are shown less often. Start with JLPT N5 vocabulary and keep your progress organized as you learn.
