A simple wallpaper app, literally built around my use-case, each time i unlock device and come back to home screen , a new kanji/vocab is there to memorize, there are people who would argue that it's useless, but tbh it really work seeing those kanji/vocab multiple times a day does have effect.

A free app to try out, as an additional learning tool.

I built this sometime ago to help me practice the kana. Hope it's helpful to someone else.

​

I recently cleared the JLPT, so I no longer need my Migii JLPT Premium subscription.

Expiry: 2 March 2027

If anyone is preparing for any JLPT level and is interested, please DM me. I can share the price and any other details.

Thanks!

I just passes N4 (yey!) and I would like to improve my Japanese especially kanji. I do WaniKani and MochiKanji. They're quite helpful in keeping the learning in routine and helps somehow with memory too. But Idk whether because digital forms somewhat gives me a feel of "I can go back to this later" so maybe the memory reinforecement is really not there?

I saw the contents and the seem very practical and informative. They dont only contain the typical kanji and word pairs to remember, but also where the kanji is derived from (i.e. image or radicals), how to correctly write them, and words with the said kanji for further examples. I thought it's also good in having that connection and understanding rather than just plain memorizing.

Obviously it's also a workbook style that progresses level over level so there arr writing involved. JLPT does not involve writing in tests but I thought the practice can provide better understanding and memory skills for me (plus it's analog so a good way to be away from the phone for a while too).

I just wonder if these kinds of book may seem a bit too repetitive and will turn out impractical since there are digital versions out there.

Feel free to drop your thoughts or if you know better resources!

Hey everyone - long-time lurker, wanted to share something I made for my own studying that turned into a real tool.
Join
The problem: I wanted to build vocab passively while watching anime, but every existing tool needs you to pause and click on words manually. I just wanted words to show up on their own while I watched, so I built CaptionCatch.
What it does: while you're watching with captions on, a small card pops up with a word from the dialogue - the reading and the meaning - timed to what's actually being said. No clicking, no pausing.
• JLPT-graded (N5-N1), so it picks words near your actual level instead of random ones
• Works on YouTube for free, no account needed
• Fully offline — no Al, nothing sent anywhere, just a bundled dictionary
• Free tier is genuinely usable (120 words/day), Pro adds Netflix support + a stats dashboard + Anki export if you want to go deeper
Not trying to replace immersion or grammar study - just a low-effort way to pick up vocab in the background while you're watching something you'd watch anyway.
Happy to answer questions about how it works, and genuinely open to feedback if you try it and something's off
\- this is a small solo project, not a big company thing.

Hey guys, I've been using so many different app to learn Japanese but yet every app does its own thing, and there is no cohesive integration between them, some even charge money for features that I think should just be free.

So I made them for free! Seeing is believing, check the landing out and see what's included.

https://nihonten.ai/

Disclaimer: Yes app has a paid subscription too, but you don't have to pay to use 80% of the app's functions !!

I'd appreciate your feedbacks!

It really seems harder than one would think to find japanese subtitles for JAPANESE movies. So many times that I do, they tend to be subtitles translated back to japanese from some other language.

This maybe a skill issue too. So, point me in the right direction please.

In the very moment, I'm trying to find for 'The Tale of the Princess Kaguya'

Looking for a study buddy for the JLPT N5/NAT 5Q. I’m planning to study around 5 hours a day and would love to find someone who’s equally serious and consistent.

We can study together, keep each other accountable, practice vocabulary/grammar, and do mock tests. Ideally, someone who can commit regularly and wants to prepare seriously for the exam.

Target: N5 / NAT 5Q
Study time: ~5 hours/day
Looking for: Serious & consistent study partner

Feel free to DM me if interested!

Hey everyone

TL;DR -
I made an immersion tracker with automatic video and language detection. It remembers languages for channels and TV shows, supports custom websites and connects with Anki for detailed analytics. It tracks active/passive immersion, days, times, sources, activities and much more. I’m mainly looking for feedback on what is useful, what is confusing and what is still missing.

I have been working on a extension called Osmolog. Basically it is a language immersion tracker that I was originally going to make just for myself, but then I got addicted to adding features lol. After a while, it became a pretty comprehensive tracker that displays much more than just total hours.

I decided to release it publicly so other people could use it. I’m also sharing it because I want feedback before I continue adding things based only on what I personally want.

So, what does Osmolog do?

It automatically tracks all the different languages you immerse in, even if you switch between different languages in a day/session. It detects the language whenever possible, and if it cannot, it asks you. I tried making it less anyoing by making it remember your choices for specific channels and tv shows so you do not always have to confirm them. After you choose the same language twice for a channel/tvshow, it will automatically use it next time. Automatic detection still has priority so Osmolog will warn you if the detected language conflicts with your choice.

The analytics show how long you immersed, whether it was active or passive, day of week, time of days, activities such as reading, watching and listening, sources such as YouTube, Netflix and Twitch, and specific channels or shows. It also includes long term progress, milestones and daily, weekly, monthly and yearly goals.

There is also an Anki add-on that connects Osmolog with Anki. It tracks review time, new cards, reviews, Again, Hard, Good and Easy answers, retention, upcoming workload and more.

Custom websites are supported too. Since there are so many different video players and each has different metadata, I made it simple, add the URL and language for that site and Osmolog will automatically track that language whenever you watch something there. (might not work for all websites, depends on the player used, and cant track ads etc)

Osmolog is completely free, and all tracking and other features will remain completely free. The only possible exception is automatic full detailed history backup and sync.

Sync already exists through Chrome Sync, but it is capped on Chrome’s side, so it is more of an overview than a detailed sync. However, you can always manually export your full detailed history as a JSON file for free. If automatic full detailed history backup and sync ever become paid, it would only be to cover the database costs.

Chrome Web Store:

I would really appreciate some feedback

• Are the analytics useful, or is there too much information?
• Is the language selection easy to understand? Tracking vs goal language
• Are there any statistics or features you feel are missing?
• Is anything confusing or difficult to use?

Thanks!

Hello all,

I recently got a half copy of Kikis delivery service from Japan and made an SRS helper tool to get prepared with any new vocab on a page by page basis. Wanted to share here if anyone finds it useful !

Have you ever studied Japanese from textbooks, but still struggled to understand anime, podcasts, or everyday conversations?

https://note.com/majireal_japan/n/n49bcfa5c2393

My podcast is aimed at advanced Japanese learners who want to get used to real, natural Japanese — the kind of Japanese native speakers actually use in everyday conversations.

I’ve also published a sample script with useful vocabulary and expressions so you can follow along while listening.

If you're studying Japanese and looking for something beyond textbook Japanese, I'd love to hear what you think!

Hey all,

I made a site to help me study for the jlpt www.jlptopencatalogue.com. hope it helps someone else!

Hello, we currently have a server with around 250 members mainly where you can learn japanese with a community, share resources, and get advice from others. It's pretty active and we are looking for more members!

A day spent organising my app and drawing cute widgets is a day well spent 🌸✨

6 to go!

The test version of this area is now available if you update your Pocket Japanese app and click ‘practice’! It’s a slightly more organised version of what was already there, with new features coming soon such as ‘an all words and work better than ever!

Lastly, the wordsearch and flashcards have had a much deserved update and now look and work better than ever!

I've made a free guide for my students that covers:

• Dates of the month (the tricky ones as well)
• Days of the week & Clock times
• Essential phrases for scheduling/canceling

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hqxr9033zj2V6MDGh3OSvE3tX3atsiAI/view?usp=sharing

Along with the content mentioned above, it also has example sentences, questions and answer keys included.

You will be able to effectively build sentences that can schedule, cancel or reschedule alongg with proper dates and time.

Feel free to DM if you have any questions

Thank you so much for all the support lately.

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✌️!!

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.

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.
