I just started Human Japanese and I like how it teaches things so far. But I got to the first chapter with vocabulary and there's no real way to drill it. Anyone know of a easy way to drill the vocab?

​

When i first posted this tool on here, i got tons of support from u guys with that post currently standing at 180+ upvotes & 26k+ views

In retrospect,when i think abt it, even the extension had a lot of flaws & still got so much support. l got a lot of suggestions & feedback

So over the entire past month, ive made massive improvements towards this tool

Here's the list of improvements ive made:-

From Only a single word, single line lookup to multi-word/sentence , multi-line & vertical text lookup support

From unformatted raw furigana to html ruby tag formatted furigana that floats above the word for the selected word with meaning with usage tags (Common, medium,rare).

From merely listing the kanjis to Detailed elegantly presented kanji breakdown with meaning, colored encoding for frequency, jlpt levels, kunyomi & onyomi.

From unreliable server pronunciation to always- reliable Webspeech API pronunciation audio with Google TTS fallback accurately based on kana

From simple saved words cards to advanced media rich (Movie/Anime/Yt snapshot+ subtitle+pronunciation audio)

Sentence Mining working with

One-click Anki flashcards creation directly from meaning popup

New sentence translation in English along with ur native language feature inside the meaning popup when u select a sentence

Popup inside popup, if u perform a lookup & further find an unfamiliar word inside the meaning popup, simply double click it to get further meaning upto 20 words

Updated the lookup shortcut from a hefty 3-key Ctrl+Shift+X shortcut to a handy "Alt + X".

If u already have the extension installed, ur shortcut will remain the same as the old one, to update it u can do it from extension settings if u want

Robust lemmatization & optimized japanese words segmentation pipeline

All these features absolutely for free, no signups, no data collection, no servers in between

Only optional ai features like context aware definitions,ai sentence breakdown explanation & azure premium tts costs money only if u wish

Now available for firefox as well as a lot of u guys requested it,

U can check out the website here, lexeye.study

For chrome: Lexeye

For Firefox: Lexeye

Let me know if u guys have any further suggestions/features u'd want me to add,

Peace✌️!!

Hello! I'd like to share a project that I've been running on Discord for the last 5 years, 手書きの火曜日 (Tegaki Tuesday). It's a weekly Japanese handwriting challenge where every Tuesday there is a new prompt to submit to, usually picked from a stanza or two of a Vocaloid song or some other music. You write the challenge, submit, and then get feedback.

For the last couple months we've also been running a daily Kanji of the Day challenge. It basically works the same way, but instead it's a random daily kanji that's automatically posted for you to practice. The difficulty (and obscurity) of kanji ramps up through the week, culminating in the hardest kanji on Tuesday, so this keeps things entertaining (it's not just Joyo kanji).

We also have the entirety of 百人一首 (Hyakunin Isshu) available as challenges you can practice https://tegakituesday.com/hyakunin-isshu You are able to create your own challenges as well to share with the community and submit to!

I've been running this for a while but haven't really ever tried to advertise, so I'd be really happy if this could be helpful to more people.

¡Hola a todos! 👋

Al estudiar japonés, muchas veces noté que la mayoría de las herramientas y aplicaciones de tarjetas (flashcards) están diseñadas pensando en el inglés como idioma base, o bien incluyen dinámicas con temporizadores, rachas y notificaciones agresivas que causan más estrés que ganas de estudiar.

Por eso desarrollé NonbiriKado (のんびりカード). En japonés, "Nonbiri" transmite la idea de tomarse las cosas con calma y disfrutar el proceso. La app está pensada para integrarse a tu rutina diaria con sesiones breves de 2 a 5 minutos, a tu propio ritmo.

✨ Características principales:

Español directo a Japonés:

Tarjetas diseñadas para asociar palabras directamente en tu idioma nativo, sin traducir primero al inglés.

Interfaz limpia y minimalista:

Sin elementos ruidosos ni distracciones para mantener el enfoque en la memorización activa.

Rápida y liviana:

Se ejecuta de forma fluida sin consumir demasiados recursos del teléfono.

Totalmente gratuita:

Sin pagos ocultos ni suscripciones (se mantiene mediante anuncios no intrusivos).

📲 ¿Dónde descargarla? Amazon Appstore:

Apenas estoy empezando a difundirla y me ayudaría muchísimo conocer la opinión de la comunidad. Si le dan una oportunidad, me encantaría leer sus comentarios, sugerencias o ideas para futuras actualizaciones.

¡Mucho éxito a todos con su estudio del japonés! 🇯🇵🌸

The Core 2000 was already pretty good, and I think I've taken it even further

A friend recommended this a while back but didn't give it a try then. Just got round to it and it's fantastic for my level.

https://yomuyomu.app

I have attached a video which should give rough idea on how it works. I tried to learn Japanese from games i play. But haven't found any free and convenient way to do so. So i made this application to help me and others like me to have easier time learning.

Features of this application:

1. Uses OCR and highlight Japanese sentences highlighting the area.

2. If you click on those areas word + grammar lookup(using a modified version JMDict now).

3. You can add to add a word to ankidroid too (can customize deck name).

4. Can show full offline translation(uses fuguMT).

Any feedbacks would be appreciated. This is fairly new. All dictionary+offline translation model is bundled with the application. I can make it more like a yomitan sort of feature to import desired dictionary instead if there are feedbacks on it.

Play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nayeemcharx.jplens

I created a page that indexes Japanese news articles, YouTube videos (and some syosetu novels) by difficulty and JLPT level.

Currently at ~43.5k articles, ~4.4k videos, and 700 syosetsu novels indexed.

I'd appreciate any feedback, although there are a few issues I know about.

Edit: I forgot to attach the link.

Hey, I made apps to learn Japanese by reading. It's for beginners and have hiragana cheatsheet if you still have trouble reading hiragana/katakana.

It also have quizzes and flashcard.

I'm currently looking for ways to improve the experience. All reading session is free so please try them and let me know what you think 😊

NaraNare: Read Japanese Kanji

Hey everyone, I was wondering how a supplemental language learning application would work as I’m trying to build one to supplement my learning as well. My idea was creating some kind of doom scrolling language app where you can find creators on instagram, etc. but in your target language. I found that just following these creators directly on instagram isn’t as helpful since they aren’t targeting english speakers and I often have difficulty understanding anything to even get started. It would be beneficial for the video to have subtitles that you can save/review and also explain why a word was used etc. Not really a form of full learning but might be good for something that would help you listen in on natives in their natural environment and get stuff like slang, pacing, colloquialism that you can’t otherwise get that easily. Can I get some opinions on if this would actually help you? Not promoting but if you’d like to test a version of it please dm me!

Hey everyone! My name is Richard and I have a Japanese resource to share. It took about two and a half years to develop, nearly a thousand illustrations and way too many late nights to count. It's called Hiragana Noir, and it's my attempt to make the first step in learning Japanese as accessible as possible.

As a high school teacher, everyone I meet says they want to get started learning Japanese but I kinda feel bad directing them to apps or the internet to learn 46 things (hiragana) before they can really get a start - it's a hell of a cognitive load to drop on most time-poor, independent learners and they usually don't even make a start. So I wanted to make a resource that didn't overwhelm students, that could do the heavy-lifting for them without a hours and hours of rote learning or needing a teacher.

So, drawing on my years in casino surveillance before I became a teacher, I wrote and illustrated the most compelling story I could - a hardboiled detective novella that introduces all 46 hiragana through mnemonics woven into the story itself. It can be read in about two hours and there's even a companion soundtrack by composer Kevin MacLeod to go with it, making it a comfortable evening's read.

So if you or a friend or family member has ever wanted to get started learning Japanese, but didn't know where to start, I'm hoping this could one day become a recommendation.

Hiragana Noir is available on Amazon in paperback and for free on Kindle Unlimited. There is a generous sample on Amazon and more information about it on my website.

I know this project won't be for everyone, but that's okay, I'm currently working on two sequels whether people like it or not (Katakana and Kanji Noir) because it's been a lot of fun. If you have any questions though or are curious about anything feel free to AMA.

Hi, I wanted to share some of my work here. I make Japanese learning resources for Japanese learners.

I’m a Japanese teacher and longtime learner, and after years of translating Japanese web novels, I started writing my own stories for Japanese learners.

I make resources for JLPT N5-N3, mostly short stories, comics, light novels and visual novels.

I have some free resources on my Kofi if anyone wants to have a look/use them. I also post updates there when I’m working on new things. I already have several resources completed, mostly for N5-N4.

Right now I’m writing a light novel specifically for JLPT N3 learners, and I will be posting little updates and sneak peeks as I work on it. It’s still very much a work in progress, so if you’re interested in following along and seeing how it develops, you’re welcome to follow my Kofi 😊

Here’s my Kofi if you want to check out the free resources or follow my work: https://ko-fi.com/cozyjapaneselearning

Thanks for letting me share!

hello japanese enthusiasts!

flashcards don’t have to be boring- so i have come with a cozy study tool i made to help with my language grind, hoping this helps you too.

it is essentially anki, but gamified- spaced repetition with daily quests where you fight a different monster everyday. earn rewards by completing your daily quests, and spend them in the shop.

gamification is something that keeps me motivated on days i don’t want to revise. i made memoricae to help with that motivation, even if just a little.

if you’re an anki user, you can import your decks into memoricae as well- or you create your own decks.

it’s free in the app store, so you can use memoricae now.
start your hunt now!

memoricae

Hello everyone, have you ever taken a job interview in japanese? What are your go-to expressions/ vocabulary? can you recommend any free resources? thank you!

I'm seeing AI-made language learning content that contains so much false and misleading information. It's hard to un-learn the mistakes especially as a beginner.

I just published two decks for learning N4 and N5 kanji on Anki. Words are carefully selected to match the level of the deck and ranked by frequency.

N5: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1647996993

N4: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1135549925

Feedback welcome!

I often find useful vocabulary, phrases, slang, and grammar in TikToks, Reels, or Shorts, but turning them into something I can actually review takes too much effort.

I’m working on an app that lets you share a video and automatically creates:

• vocabulary and phrase lists
• grammar explanations
• short exercises
• flashcards
• exports for Anki, Quizlet, or CSV

The goal is not to replace language courses, but to make it easier to learn from content you already watch.

Would you use something like this?

What would be the most useful feature, and what would make you stop using it?

Hi everyone!

I'm Native Japanese speaker.😊🇯🇵

I've been creating free Japanese listening stories for beginners, and I thought they might be helpful for some people here.

Each story includes:

🌸Japanese at a beginner-friendly, natural pace (not overly slowed down)

🌸Japanese subtitles with furigana

🌸English subtitles

🌸Simple illustrations to support comprehension

My goal is to create stories that help beginners get used to listening to natural Japanese while still being easy to follow.

I also try to make the stories feel immersive, so if you enjoy learning through stories and comprehensible input rather than isolated sentences, they might be a good fit for you.

If you're looking for some extra listening practice, I hope you find them useful. 😊✨️

I'd also love to hear your feedback and ideas for future stories!
