About Kototap
Kototap writes short stories around your spaced-repetition deck. Words and grammar are best learned inside sentences doing real work, so that's where your reviews live. Tap a word you don't know, and it repeats in your next stories — until it sticks. What you look up is what you learn • Instant, in-context explanations as you read • Every word you look up joins your deck automatically Words repeat in new stories until they stick • Spaced repetition schedules each word's return inside future stories • Watch words climb from Learning → Familiar → Comfortable, story by story Grammar gets the same treatment • Grammar patterns (〜てしまう, 〜そうだ, …) are tapped, tracked, and repeated just like vocabulary • One system for everything you're learning — no separate grammar study Connect what you've learned • Sync WaniKani, Bunpro or Renshuu, or import an Anki deck • What you already know is woven into your stories, so it gets reinforced instead of forgotten Stories always at your level • Short, engaging stories generated for you — tuned so you understand about 90% on sight • Nine difficulty steps from beginner to native Japanese; move up whenever you're ready • Made for the intermediate plateau — you know a lot of words, but native material still buries you Reading that stays fun • Story decisions let you choose where each story goes next • Listen along with built-in audio narration Spaced repetition, in context — the way words and grammar actually stick.
