About Jengo: Learn Japanese

Look something up, add it to your deck, and keep going. Dictionary - Search by drawing, romaji, kana, kanji, English, or missing characters with ! and ? - Entries contain detailed definitions, example sentences, explanations, kanji break downs, pitch accent, and more - Tap to hear real audio for words and sentences. - Pull up fresh example sentences on demand. - Clean, uncluttered layout — everything you need, nothing you don't. - Add any word to your flashcards instantly, right from the entry. Flashcards - A modern spaced-repetition system schedules your reviews so you see each word right before you'd forget it - A clean layout designed specifically for Japanese, easy to read and easy to use. - Ready-to-go decks you can import and start studying immediately - Making your own cards is quick and painless. - Let Jengo generate cards for you, or improve the ones you already have. - Multi-card view lets you knock out the easy words fast. - Works offline, with sync across your devices so you pick up where you left off. -Customize your decks with colored icons.
