Kotoba Forest: JLPT Vocabulary

🎯 New: JLPT Forest — take a vocabulary diagnosis, pick your exam date and goal, and the words you don't know yet become your own forest, with a daily plant-and-water plan that runs all the way to exam day. Make kanji practice and Japanese vocabulary review part of a forest that grows with you. Study 10,000 JLPT N5–N1 words with spaced repetition, native audio, example sentences, mock tests, and playful daily review. BEGINNER FOREST: MASTER KANA FIRST — FREE Brand new to Japanese? Start in the free Beginner Forest and learn kana from zero. Learn hiragana and katakana letter by letter (including dakuon and yōon), then drill kana combos with listening quizzes until reading feels automatic. Hiragana × katakana contrast pairs train both scripts side by side, and starter words written entirely in kana bridge you into JLPT N5 vocabulary — hear it, read it, then meet the kanji later. KANJI PRACTICE WITH REAL VOCABULARY Practice kanji through the words you actually need for Japanese and the JLPT. Each word card combines kana, kanji, meaning, an example sentence, and Japanese audio. Review readings and meanings, revisit mistakes, and use the Kanji mini-game and themed Kanji Forest for focused kanji practice. SPACED REPETITION THAT BUILDS LONG-TERM MEMORY Kotoba Forest uses a seven-stage spaced repetition system (SRS). Plant a new word, water it through scheduled reviews, and help it grow into an evergreen word. Unlike ordinary flashcards that repeat everything at the same pace, spaced repetition brings each word back just before you forget it. Correct answers move vocabulary forward; forgotten words return for more practice at the right time. JLPT N5–N1 VOCABULARY AND MOCK TESTS Choose your target level from N5, N4, N3, N2, or N1. Browse level-based Japanese vocabulary, take timed JLPT mock tests, and review your score history.
