GoMe Nihongo is a Japanese learning app that works out where you already are, then takes you forward — instead of making you start over from scratch. YOUR OWN PATH, MAPPED AS A CLIMB UP MOUNT FUJI • A placement test measures your real level and skips what you already know • Progress is shown as a climb: from the foot of the mountain for absolute beginners, up one station at a time along the JLPT framework (N5 → N1) • Short 5–20 minute lessons a day; the study plan adapts to the time you actually have ALL FIVE CORE SKILLS • Vocabulary · Kanji · Grammar · Reading · Listening — every level covers all five • Explanations aim at the mistakes learners keep making: particles, long vs. short vowels, kanji readings KANJI YOU ACTUALLY REMEMBER • Look up by radical, with memory stories built from the parts a character is made of • Stroke order and handwriting practice for every character REVIEW RIGHT BEFORE YOU FORGET (SRS) • Spaced repetition schedules every card for you • A "tricky items" deck collects exactly what you keep getting wrong • Save difficult words and add your own notes to any item AND MORE • Listening practice with furigana-subtitled video • Station exams to unlock the next level • Daily study reminders (local notifications — turn them off any time) The app interface is available in English. Some lesson explanations are not translated yet. — Note: the N5–N1 labels in this app are estimates based on the JLPT framework and community benchmarks. GoMe Nihongo is not affiliated with the Japan Foundation or JEES, the organisations that administer the JLPT. Dictionary and kanji data come from open sources (JMdict, KANJIDIC2, KanjiVG and others) and are fully credited in the app's Credits screen.
