Japanese that stays with you.
Vocabulary, kanji, grammar, reading and writing in one app, with review timed so it sticks.
One character opens a whole curriculum.
A kanji carries its components, its readings, the words it builds and the sentences it lives in. Npass keeps those connected, so learning one thing makes the next thing easier.
Review arrives just before you forget.
Npass schedules every card with FSRS-5. Cards you find easy move further out. Cards you stumble on come back sooner. You spend the session on the ones that need it.
- FSRS-5 scheduling
- Works offline
- Syncs across your devices
Seven surfaces, one daily practice.
Each one feeds the others. Words you save while reading turn up in review, and the kanji you have learned turn up in the passages Npass writes for you.
Vocabulary 語彙
Guided sets that follow a JLPT curriculum, chat-style quizzes over just the batch you studied, and hands-free auto-play.
Kanji 漢字
Animated stroke order, a recursive component breakdown, and a writing exercise that scores what you drew.
Grammar 文法
Formation, explanation and examples for every point, with a grammar chat when one will not click.
Reading 読解
Passages matched to your level, four furigana modes, and tap-to-define on any word.
Writing 作文
Write Japanese and get per-sentence furigana, translation and a scored review.
Practice 練習問題
Mock JLPT sections for vocabulary, grammar and reading, with an explanation after every answer.
Shadowing シャドーイング
Listen and repeat with pronunciation feedback and speed control.
In developmentSee it. Trace it. Write it.
Watch the strokes go down in order, trace them over a guide, then write the character from memory on an empty grid. Npass scores shape and neatness, and tells you which strokes ran backwards.
The stroke data comes from KanjiVG, the same open dataset that drew the 夢 at the top of this page.
More about kanji
Practise on real sentences.
Know the next step
The home card always says what to do now: start, continue, or take the unit test.
Read with support
Turn furigana on or off, then tap any unfamiliar word to define it and save it to your deck.
Write and check
Every sentence gets furigana and a translation as you type, then a review scores the whole piece.
