About Japanese Flashcards – Manabi
Intelligent flashcards, purpose-built for Japanese. Join an online community of 日本語 learners! OPTIMIZE Manabi optimizes what and when you learn to make the most of your time. With its state-of-the-art spaced repetition algorithm called FSRS (the same exact implementation used by Anki), it'll remind you to review cards right as you're likely to forget them to maximize efficiency. If you fall behind, Manabi prioritizes the highest-impact cards rather than guilt-trip you about it. BEYOND ROTE Learn more than just "the answers". Example sentences from Weblio are pulled in automatically, as well as relevant StackExchange Q&A. Just scroll down on a card to learn more and make those memories more vivid so that they stick! You can also practice your kanji skills by drawing kanji right inside the app with vivid stroke animations to help you remember the answers. COMMUNITY Users can share decks for others to subscribe to, with automatically-synced updates. Manabi is a community of Japanese learners, and comes with handy pre-built decks out-of-the-box. READER INTEGRATION One of the best ways to learn Japanese is by reading native materials. Use our companion app, Manabi Reader, for one-touch dictionary look-ups that let you seamlessly add flashcards into Manabi for the words you come across.
