About Bento: Learn Japanese & JLPT

Learn Japanese with short daily lessons, then read what you just learned. Bento gives you one lesson, one reading, and one review a day, matched to your level. 15 minutes, and you're done. Bento Japanese is a Japanese learning app with bite-sized lessons on grammar, vocabulary, hiragana, katakana and kanji, vocab and kanji trainers, and graded readers and JLPT-leveled articles that put each lesson to use right away. LESSONS THAT ACTUALLY STICK Each lesson takes 2 to 5 minutes and covers one thing: a grammar point, a set of words, a kana row, a handful of kanji. No hour-long units, no filler. And unlike most apps, what you learn shows up in your next reading, so grammar and vocab click because you meet them in real sentences about real things. YOUR DAILY JAPANESE, DONE IN 15 MINUTES Every day, Bento gives you one lesson, one reading, and one review. A small habit that compounds into real Japanese over time, with no guilt about the day you skip. 今日のBento、完了。また明日ね。 VOCAB AND KANJI TRAINERS BUILT FROM WHAT YOU READ Tap any word while reading to save it. Your trainer drills the words and kanji you've actually met, with the original sentence right there for context. No pre-made lists of words you'll never use. READ REAL JAPANESE AT YOUR LEVEL Graded readers and JLPT-leveled articles written for learners, from absolute beginner to N1. Tap any word for an instant definition. Listen along with audio. Stories about daily life in Japan, food, travel, work, festivals and more. A CLEAR PATH FROM ZERO TO N1 Bento uses a simple rank system, F through S, so you always know where you are and what's next. Start with hiragana and katakana, build through N5 and N4, and work toward N3, N2 and N1. Studying for the JLPT? Bento builds the grammar recognition, kanji recall and reading speed the test actually requires, through daily lessons and reading instead of exam drills alone. BENTO IS A JAPANESE LEARNING APP Not a bento box brand. Not a food app. The name is a nod to learning in small, satisfying portions, like a well-packed bento: every element in its place, nothing wasted. START FREE Bento is free to download with no time limit on core features. Start from your first hiragana, or jump in where you feel comfortable. がんばれ。 Thanks for trying Bento Japanese! よろしくね (^o^) Privacy Policy: https://bentojapanese.com/privacy Terms of Service: https://bentojapanese.com/terms https://www.instagram.com/bentojapanese https://www.youtube.com/@bentojapanese https://www.reddit.com/r/BentoJapanese https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61579079714693
