From JLPT success to daily learning habits, see how Kotobaten transforms Japanese learning journeys

Kotobaten's vocabulary system was a game-changer for my JLPT N2 prep. The spaced repetition helped me retain over 2,000 kanji compounds that showed up on the actual exam. I finally passed after two previous attempts!

I struggled with consistency until I found Kotobaten. The daily vocabulary practice became part of my morning routine. One year later, I have a 365-day streak and can finally read manga without constantly looking up words.

The AI-generated practice questions were incredibly similar to the real JLPT N1 vocabulary section. Kotobaten helped me master the nuanced differences between similar words that make or break the exam.

As a Japanese-Brazilian, I thought I knew Japanese well. Kotobaten helped me learn business vocabulary I never encountered growing up. Now I can confidently participate in meetings with our Tokyo office.

The ability to add personal notes and context to each word was perfect for my learning style. I created connections between Arabic and Japanese that helped me remember vocabulary for my N3 exam.
