Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Learn Japanese kanji and vocabulary progressively with Kanji Senpai. Kanji Senpai combines spaced repetition (SRS), reading, writing, listening and kanji practice to help you remember Japanese vocabulary in the long term. Study vocabulary organized by JLPT level, from N5 to N1, and practice the different aspects of each word: meaning, reading, pronunciation, listening and writing. LEARN WITH SPACED REPETITION The SRS system schedules reviews so you can study each word again when you need it most. Instead of simply memorizing a flashcard answer, the same vocabulary can appear in different types of exercises to help you really learn it. PREPARE FOR THE JLPT Study vocabulary from JLPT N5, N4, N3, N2 and N1. Progress level by level or choose exactly what you want to study. PRACTICE WRITING KANJI Don't just recognize kanji. Write characters directly on the screen and practice their shape and strokes. LEARN VOCABULARY IN CONTEXT Use example sentences to understand the meaning and natural usage of Japanese words. You can also use them to practice reading and listening comprehension. TRAIN DIFFERENT SKILLS Kanji Senpai lets you practice: • Vocabulary meaning • Reading and pronunciation • Listening comprehension • Writing • Kanji recognition • Kanji writing • Sentences and vocabulary in context CUSTOMIZE YOUR STUDY Choose the lists and levels you want to study, create custom lists and adapt your study sessions to your goals. Kanji Senpai is designed for learners who already know hiragana and katakana and want to expand their vocabulary, improve their kanji or prepare for the JLPT. Whether you are starting with N5 or preparing for N3, N2 or N1, you can use Kanji Senpai throughout your Japanese learning journey.
