The fastest way to build your Japanese vocabulary

Vocabulary is the single biggest factor in understanding a language, and word frequency is the shortcut: the 1,000 most common Japanese words cover roughly 85% of everyday speech, and the top 10,000 take you to near-complete understanding of conversations, films and articles. These Japanese flashcards follow strict frequency order, so every minute of study pays off from day one.

Each card shows a Japanese word, speaks it aloud with native pronunciation, and reveals the translation in your own language. Mark what you knew — anything you miss comes back round after round until the whole Japanese vocabulary is yours. Your progress is saved automatically in your browser, with no account and no installation.
