👋, I'm Jan.

Some people magically remember words after hearing them twice.
Not me. 😅

I made Kotobaten to help me learn and retain the words I ran into when exploring Japanese language and culture.

Since I started using it, it helps me learn around a thousand words per year.

I hope it can supercharge your Japanese journey the same way!

~よろしくな~
