Quiz yourself on Japanese vocabulary from your own notes

Example beginner Japanese vocabulary quiz questions

What does 食べる (taberu) mean?To eat. It is an ichidan verb, so its polite form is 食べます (tabemasu).

What do the kanji 学校 (gakkō) mean together?School. 学 means study or learning and 校 means school or institution, so the word combines both ideas.

What does 水 (mizu) mean?Water. The reading mizu is the kun'yomi, while the on'yomi sui appears in compounds like 水泳 (suiei, swimming).

True or false: 大丈夫 (daijōbu) can mean 'it's okay' or 'I'm fine'?True. It is a flexible everyday expression, and its meaning depends on context.

Which particle marks the topic of a sentence, は or が?は (wa) marks the topic, while が marks the subject, often when introducing new information.

Quiz yourself and review

Answer, read the explanations, and retake the questions you missed.

Upload a PDF of your textbook glossary, a DOCX of weekly word lists, or a few photos of handwritten notes. The AI pulls out the vocabulary and writes questions in the format you choose, including multiple choice for meanings and true/false for usage.

Frequently asked questions

How many new words should I study in one Japanese vocabulary session?

Many learners do well with about 10 to 20 new words per session, then review them the next day. Shorter sessions repeated over several days usually stick better than one long cram.

Should I quiz on English meanings or on readings first?

Start with the meaning you need most for reading, then add readings once the common words feel familiar. Mixing both directions helps recall in both directions.

Can I export my Japanese quiz to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is included in the Plus plan, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card.
