Todaii: Learn Japanese N5-N1

I can’t say enough good things about this app. It constantly amazes me. The team that put this app together has done a tremendous amount of work and continues to do so every day just for you. It might not be approachable if you are an outright beginner. But if you are a lower intermediate and above, then you can really make great use of the news articles. You can turn on and off the furigana to test yourself when reading kanji. All of the words can be looked up almost instantly. What is even better, is that you can add these words to your flashcard favourites and learn them in your own time. Not only that, but you can listen to the article after you’ve read it so that you can evaluate your listening comprehension. $50 for a lifetime membership is a steal!! Congratulations to the developer this app is amazing. I love what you are doing.

There might be a few kinks with some the automated translations /JLPT level tags, but the dev team seems pretty dedicated. It is quite impressive in the scope of what it does. This is exactly the sort of Japanese extensive reading app I’ve been looking for. I prefer to toggle the furigana off to practice my kanji and like how I can translate text / pull up readings on the fly. Love the vocabulary lists generated for the articles. Built in dictionary with grammar is a definite plus. Having access to the practice tests in the same app is just icing on top. One thing I would like to see is a few comprehension questions for the articles, but not sure how they could do that with the constant flow of new articles. Premium is definitely worth it. Get rid of the ads, get more tests / features, take it offline and on the go. Had some difficulty with the cross app login, but the support were quick to solve the issue. They’re friendly and care about their users.

I started using this app and enjoyed reading articles, but then I noticed the JLPT button on the bottom. I was preparing to take N3 and decided to see what materials this app had to offer. I was blown away!! It was wonderful being able to take mock tests, review my answers, and try a different test. I was amazed at the consistency of my mistakes and successes, which I wouldn’t have noticed without this app. I was able to focus my studies on my trouble areas. The timer during the test was incredibly helpful, and I was thankful to have the audio portion as well. I recommend this app for anyone preparing to take the JLPT. I took the N3 yesterday and I’m feeling pretty good about it! We’ll see in a few months. :) I’m excited to see what else this app has to offer!
