Why a generated quiz beats a generic word list

Most Japanese courses hand out vocabulary as long lists of kanji, kana readings and English glosses, and reading them over rarely shows what you actually remember. A Japanese vocabulary quiz built from your own lesson material forces recall: you see the word, pick or type the meaning, and the explanation shows the reading or usage you missed.

  • Upload the exact list or slides your class uses so the quiz matches what you will be tested on.
  • Mix multiple choice with true/false so you practice both recognition and recall.
  • Read the explanation after every answer, especially for readings and particles.
  • Repeat missed words later in the week rather than cramming the full list in one sitting.
Example 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.
What is the reading of 水?Mizu, meaning water.
Is 図書館 (toshokan) the Japanese word for library?True. 図書館 means library, while 本屋 means bookstore.
What does 先生 (sensei) mean?Teacher. It is also a respectful title for doctors and other experts.
What does ありがとうございます (arigatou gozaimasu) express?A polite thank you. The plain form ありがとう is used with friends.

Questions from your own vocab

Upload a word list, textbook PDF, slide deck or a photo of a vocabulary page and get multiple-choice or true/false questions based on what it contains.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you the reading, meaning or usage instead of just marking you down.

Flashcards and spaced repetition

Study the same words as flashcards in the browser, and on paid plans review them with spaced repetition so the hard ones come back sooner.

How it works

Add your vocabulary

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or a photo of the page. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions, and set the scope to the lesson you are studying.

Take the quiz

Answer in the browser, read each explanation, then repeat the missed words until they stick.

If you were hoping for a ready-made printable sheet, the more useful option is a quiz built from the exact words your teacher used this week. Upload the slides or notes, generate the questions, and study them in the browser. Plus adds export to PDF and DOCX for printing, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.

Frequently asked questions

How many words should I put in one Japanese vocabulary quiz?

Ten to twenty words per session is a practical range for most learners, because short sets are easier to review with full attention. Use a lesson or chapter as the boundary so related words stay together.

How should I study kanji readings alongside their meanings?

Test the reading and the meaning separately, since a word can be clear in English but still fail on its kana. Repeat missed items the same day, then review again after a few days.

Can I export the quiz for a class?

Export to PDF and DOCX is included with Plus, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of Pro at $14.99/month.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. The free plan gives 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and students get 40% off with a school email.
