About VocabGo JP
Read the Japan around you. Textbooks teach you grammar — then you land in Japan and can't read a station sign, a coworker's surname, or a menu. VocabGo JP is built for exactly that gap: nearly 1,800 real-world words and names, organized the way you meet them in daily life. WHAT'S INSIDE • Places — all 47 prefectures, Tokyo's 23 wards, famous neighborhoods and landmarks across Japan • Train stations — major JR, Tokyo Metro, Toei, and private-line stations in Tokyo and Osaka • People's names — the most common surnames and given names, plus tricky readings that stump even advanced learners • Counters — how to count people, drinks, flat things, machines, nights at a hotel, and much more • Everyday culture — shop and station signs, Japanese dishes and sushi neta, national holidays, universities, companies, weather and emergency terms, onomatopoeia, and words for the doctor's office, housing, and work LEARN IT, DON'T JUST LOOK IT UP • Quiz — see a word in kanji, pick the right reading from four choices, with daily scores and streaks • Flashcards — spaced repetition brings back the words you miss, right when you're about to forget them • Search — fuzzy search across everything: kanji, kana, or English • Listen — native text-to-speech pronunciation for every word • Stats — active days, streaks, and a calendar of your progress MADE TO BE SIMPLE • 100% offline — no internet needed • No account, no sign-up • No ads, no tracking • Free — with an optional tip jar if the app helps you Whether you live in Japan, are planning a trip, or are supplementing JLPT study with the vocabulary tests don't cover, VocabGo JP helps you read the country, not just the textbook.
