As an avid Japanese learner, I always wanted there to be a simple online trainer for learning kana, kanji and vocabulary by JLPT level. The app serves as a simpler alternative to Chase Colburn’s Kanji Study app, because Kanji Study was pretty complicated for me to use as a beginner and didn’t have a more streamlined way of learning kanji through simple, continuous repetition and rote memorization (also, Kanji Study requires you to pay to unlock its full content library).

So, I started working on a brand new, completely free and fully open-source app in recent months. It’s very new and still in its infant stages, but here are the features so far:

  • Full JLPT vocabulary and kanji coverage, with more than 1000+ levels for you to play

  • More than 25+ different fonts and font styles

  • More than 100+ different color themes, with the ability to add and upload your own custom backgrounds

  • 100% free and open-source, forever

  • All learning materials 100% AI-free, sourced from reputable sources and available for full download and inspection

If that sounds interesting to you, you’re welcome to try it out and provide some feedback:

    I’ll definitely give this a try, hoping it works for both Windows and Linux. This could potentially become a great mobile app that could challenge Duolingo. As a teenager, I lost my ability to speak, including Japanese and sign language. However, I managed to relearn English within a few months. Unfortunately, I never had the time to relearn Japanese until now.
