AI explanations

AI that explains, not just grades

Every question comes with a plain-English explanation and a real example sentence — and if that's not enough, ask a follow-up question right there and get an answer that remembers what you just read.

〜てしまう

「〜てしまう」adds a sense of completion, regret, or something happening unintentionally. It's often used when something can't be undone — like finishing something completely, or making a mistake.

宿題を忘れてしまいました。

I (unfortunately) forgot my homework.

Exam tip: On the JLPT, 〜てしまう often signals regret or an unintended result — watch for it in reading passages, not just grammar questions.

Ask a follow-up

Is this the same as just using the past tense?

Not quite — plain past tense is neutral. Adding 〜てしまう specifically signals the outcome was unwanted, accidental, or felt final, which the past tense alone doesn't communicate.

Dashboard

See where you stand at a glance

Your streak, activity calendar, and next recommended session are all one screen away — so picking up where you left off never takes more than a click.

Your language

Study in the language you think in

The whole app — not just a few labels — switches with you: English, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and both Chinese scripts. Explanations, chapter names, and every screen follow your base language automatically.

Why most Japanese study plans fall apart

Most learners don't fail the JLPT because they can't learn Japanese — they fail because their study setup was working against them from the start.

The old way

Scattered material

A textbook here, a flashcard app there, a mock exam PDF from a forum — none of it talks to each other, and nothing adapts to what you're actually struggling with.

JLPT Ready

One system

Grammar, vocabulary, kanji, listening, and full mock exams in one place, all feeding into the same adaptive plan.

The old way

No rhythm

Cramming when you remember, guilt when you don't, no sense of whether you're actually on pace for your exam date.

JLPT Ready

A real schedule

An adaptive study plan that adjusts to your pace, rolls over what you missed, and tells you honestly whether you're on track.

The old way

No strategy, just content

Most tools hand you questions and hope repetition is enough — nobody explains why an answer is right, or teaches you how to manage time under real exam pressure.

JLPT Ready

Explained, not just graded

Every question comes with an AI-generated explanation, plus a real exam mode that matches the JLPT's actual timed, sectioned format.

The old way

English-only, no matter who you are

Nearly every major JLPT tool assumes you already think in English.

JLPT Ready

Explained in your language

Get explanations in Chinese, Vietnamese, or Korean — not just English — because understanding why matters more in your native language than it does in a second one.

Questions

Is the JLPT the same as "the Japanese proficiency exam"?

Yes — the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) is the standard Japanese proficiency exam and Japanese language test used worldwide, with five levels from N5 (beginner) to N1 (advanced). Whatever term you searched — Japanese exam prep, Japanese language test, or JLPT by name — this is the exam this app is built around.

How closely does this match the real JLPT?

Real Exam mode mirrors the official section structure, timing, and scoring model for each level. Question sets are organized by the same mondai (question-type) breakdown the real test uses, so the format is what you'll actually see on test day — we can't guarantee individual questions match, but the structure and pacing do.

What if I don't know my level yet?

Pick your best guess at signup — N5 if you're just starting. You can change your target level anytime from Profile, and Free lets you try N5 with no commitment before you decide whether to unlock the rest.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Plus and Pro are monthly or yearly subscriptions you can cancel anytime from Profile — you keep access until the end of the period you already paid for, then drop to Free. Lifetime is a one-time payment with nothing to cancel.

What happens to my progress if I downgrade?

Nothing is deleted. Your history, streak, and progress stay saved even if you move to Free — you just go back to N5-only access until you upgrade again.
