About Pictango - Japanese Vocabulary
Build your Japanese vocabulary with a picture for every word. Explore 6,700+ Japanese words, each paired with a memorable image. Connect words with meanings, understand more Japanese as you study, and keep building on what you know. UNDERSTAND MORE, WITHOUT LOSING YOUR PLACE Learning Japanese through Japanese shouldn't mean getting stuck on every unfamiliar word. Tap an underlined word in a Japanese definition to see its image, reading, and meaning, then return to the word you were learning. REMEMBER WORDS, NOT JUST RECOGNIZE THEM Look at the image, try to recall the word, then reveal the answer. Each word has its own review schedule, shaped by your answers. Words you find difficult can return sooner; words you remember more confidently can wait longer. READ WITH THE SUPPORT YOU NEED Use hiragana, kanji with furigana, or romaji to support your reading. Definitions and example sentences help you explore how words are used. Short meanings can be shown in English, Spanish, or Korean; definitions are in Japanese. Follow a vocabulary path from JLPT N5 to N1, whether you're starting out or building on what you already know. BUILD YOUR VOCABULARY. GROW YOUR TREE. See your learning take shape as a growing bonsai. Pictango tracks each word's learning stage, and together your words shape your tree—a visible reflection of the vocabulary you're building. Make room for a little Japanese in your day. Rounds combine new words and reviews in up to 20 questions, with progress saved after every answer. FREE TO START Try Pictango without creating an account. Pictango is free until 50 of the words you learn come back to you in a later review. Until then, there's no daily limit on new words. Premium unlocks all 6,700+ words with an auto-renewing subscription. Pictango's N5–N1 ordering is its own study path, not an official JLPT syllabus. Images, definitions, and example sentences are produced with AI and quality-checked, but may contain errors.

What’s new
Version 5.0.0 · Updated October 16, 2026
SEE THE MEANING BEFORE YOU ANSWER If you choose English, Spanish or Korean as your Meaning language, each card shows the word's short meaning before you reveal the answer, with the Japanese definition right below it. Tap a dotted word in the definition to look it up. SHORT MEANINGS IN SPANISH AND KOREAN Short meanings and example translations are now available in Spanish and Korean as well as English (Settings > Meaning language). More languages are on the way. Also in this update: • On the round summary, "Back to Home" is now plain text, so "Start another round" stands out.
