JLPT Tango Plus - Japanese
JLPT N5–N1 Repetition Learning
$5.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
JLPT Tango Plus is a Japanese vocabulary app for learners preparing for the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT).
The “Tango” in the app name comes from the Japanese word 単語(たんご), which means “word.” The moment you see the app name, you have already learned your first Japanese word.
From beginner N5 to advanced N1, you can study JLPT vocabulary by level, review words repeatedly through a simple learning flow, and test what you have learned with Quiz Mode.
Instead of just looking at words once, JLPT Tango Plus uses a learning queue. Words you mark as memorized are removed from the current queue, while words you are unsure about are sent to the back of the queue. This helps you naturally review the words you have not fully memorized yet.
[Main Features]
1. JLPT N5–N1 Vocabulary Decks
Study vocabulary by JLPT level: N5, N4, N3, N2, and N1. Whether you are just starting Japanese or preparing for advanced vocabulary, you can learn at your own level.
2. Cumulative Decks
Decks contain 20 words by default and are organized cumulatively. For example, Deck 1 includes words 1–20, Deck 2 includes words 1–40, and Deck 3 includes words 1–60. You can also customize the deck size in increments of 10 words, allowing you to learn new vocabulary while naturally reviewing previously studied words.
3. Learning Queue for Repeated Review
Each new study session shuffles the word order. Words marked as “Memorized” are removed from the queue, and words marked as “Not Memorized” move to the end. This lets you focus more on the words you still need to review.
4. Continue Learning
Your current learning queue is saved even if you leave the app. When you return, you can continue right where you left off, making it easy to study during commutes, breaks, or short free moments.
5. Review Count Tracking
The app records how many times you complete each deck. Review badges help you easily check your progress and stay motivated.
6. Japanese Pronunciation Audio
Listen to Japanese word pronunciation using your device’s Japanese text-to-speech feature. You can check pronunciation even without a network connection.
7. Color-Coded Kanji Reading Types
Kanji reading types are shown with different colors, including on’yomi, kun’yomi, jukujikun, and ateji. This helps you notice reading differences while memorizing words.
8. Hiragana and Katakana Charts
Review hiragana and katakana charts, including basic sounds, voiced sounds, and semi-voiced sounds. Tap each cell to hear its pronunciation.
9. Word Writing Practice
Practice JLPT vocabulary by writing words yourself.
10. Quiz Mode
Test what you have learned by solving vocabulary questions. Quiz Mode helps you check how well you remember each word and reinforce your vocabulary through active recall.
11. Personal Vocabulary Deck
Add your own words and create a personal vocabulary deck. You can save expressions from textbooks, classes, anime, dramas, travel, or daily study.
12. Light / Dark / System Theme
Choose light mode, dark mode, or system theme for a comfortable learning experience.
13. Data Reset
Reset your study records and saved data whenever you want to start again from the beginning.
