JLPT N3/N4 Japanese Vocabulary Flashcards

A free web-based Japanese vocabulary tool for JLPT N3 and N4 learners, combining flashcards, auto-played pronunciation, emojis, random review and a record of recently viewed words.

Demo walkthrough

This web app supports intermediate Japanese learners preparing for JLPT N3 and N4 vocabulary. Learners choose a level, browse a word list and open individual flashcards that bring together kanji, romaji, meaning, word class, an emoji cue and Japanese audio. The app is designed as a lightweight, browser-based alternative for independent review.

Navigation supports both planned and spontaneous practice. The word list shows 20 items at a time, while Previous, Next and Random Word controls let learners keep moving through the material. A browse-history feature remembers up to ten recently viewed words, so a learner can quickly return to vocabulary that needs another look or listen. The responsive layout works on desktop and mobile browsers, keeping the vocabulary library easy to access.

A lightweight review rhythm

  • Separate JLPT N3 and N4 vocabulary sets with 208 and 127 entries

Usability findings
