📖 How to study JLPT vocabulary effectively

🎯
Filter by your target level
Use the N5–N1 pills to focus only on the level you are studying. Don't mix levels when you're building new vocabulary.
💾
Save words you don't know
Click ♡ on words you can't recall instantly. Review your saved list regularly — spaced repetition works.
🔍
Search in your native language
Type an English meaning to discover the Japanese word. This reverse approach builds stronger recall.
📋
Study kanji and kana together
Always learn both the kanji form and the kana reading. Seeing 食べる and たべる together builds faster recognition.
