About Nihongo Learn — Learn Japanese while you browse

Turn the web into your Japanese textbook. Nihongo Learn highlights the words you are studying on every page you visit, so the vocabulary you meet in the wild is the vocabulary you actually review. HIGHLIGHT ON ANY PAGE Every word in your decks glows on the pages you browse — news, wikis, blogs. Click a highlighted word to see it, grade it, or add the next word you meet. ONE-TAP DICTIONARY Add a card and the dictionary auto-fills the reading, the meaning and even a hidden definition in Japanese. Definitions available in English, Spanish, French and Dutch — offline after the first download. HONEST SPACED REPETITION Reviews are scheduled when your memory needs them (Bunpro/WaniKani-style levels). Seeing a word on the web helps, but top levels must be earned in real reviews — no fake progress. DRAW THE KANJI. FOR REAL. The guided stroke practice makes you hand-write each character with progressive assistance: from traced guides to pure memory, with real stroke-order data (KanjiVG). If you can draw it, you know it. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Everything is stored locally in your browser. No account, no servers, no tracking. Export and import your decks anytime. Community decks to get you started: https://nihongolearn.app UI available in English, Español, Português, Français, Nederlands and 日本語.
