Spaced Repetition Drills That Actually Work
Our drill system uses spaced repetition. It is the best way to memorize Japanese kanji, vocabulary, and grammar. It shows you the right things at the right time.

Spaced repetition is proven by decades of memory research. Instead of drilling the same things over and over, you review each item just before you forget it. This saves time and helps you remember for much longer.
Traditional flashcard study
- You review everything every session. Most of it you already know.
- You waste time on easy items you will not forget.
- Hard items get lost in the pile.
- No way to track what actually sticks.
Nihongo Master spaced repetition
- Hard items appear more often until they become easy
- Easy items are spaced out so you only see them when review is due
- Every session is focused on exactly what you need
- Mastery is tracked with a clear 5-correct streak system
The Mastery System
Every drill item has a streak. Answer it right and the streak grows. Miss it and it resets. Get 5 correct answers and the item is mastered. Mastered items still show up now and then so you never forget.
Mastered items come back after longer and longer gaps. They stay in your memory for good.
