Learn the Japanese words you’ll actually use – in just minutes a day. Neko Sensei is a Japanese vocabulary builder that turns any word into a flashcard worth reviewing: kanji with furigana, spoken audio, a picture, and example sentences that show how the word is really used. Spaced repetition then brings each card back at the moment you’re about to forget it. Whether you’re working toward watching anime without subtitles, planning a trip to Japan, keeping pace with a class, or studying for the JLPT, Neko Sensei turns scattered study into a habit that sticks.
HOW IT WORKS
Look up: search any Japanese word or phrase – if the card doesn’t exist yet, it gets written for you on the spot
Collect: save it to a curated deck or one of your own, in a single tap
Remember: review with spaced repetition that adapts to how fast you personally forget
WHY IT WORKS
• Built for Japanese: furigana, kana, romaji and JLPT level on every card – not a generic flashcard app with Japanese poured into it
• Memory science: reviews are scheduled by FSRS, the open-source algorithm that learns your forgetting curve instead of running everyone on the same timetable
• Habit-forming: short daily sessions, one decision per card, and a streak worth protecting
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Look up any Japanese word or phrase, backed by a full Japanese-English dictionary
• Turn any word into a complete flashcard automatically – no card-making, ever
• Study more than 100 curated decks: JLPT N4 and N3, Travel in Japan, At the Konbini, Ordering Food, Anime & TV, Office & Work, Greetings and more
• Build your own decks around whatever you’re into
• Hear every word and every example sentence spoken clearly
• Read furigana over the kanji, plus kana and romaji
• See a picture for the words that refuse to stick
• Grade in one tap – remembered, or forgot – with nothing to score out of five
• Undo a review when your thumb moves faster than your memory
• Ask a built-in chat the questions a word list can’t answer: nuance, usage, why this word and not that one
• Keep a streak with streak freezes, earn XP, and set a daily goal that fits your life
WHO IT’S FOR
Anyone learning Japanese, from your first hundred words upward. Solo self-learners, students supplementing a class or textbook, and anyone who tried a generic flashcard app and bounced off it.
