JLPT word lists

Tomaru has 5 free JLPT word lists covering 7,834 words, each with a meaning, part of speech and example sentences. Every list is readable in full on the web, and any of them can be added to Tomaru, a free vocabulary app that uses FSRS spaced repetition to bring each word back just before you would forget it. Free, no ads.

A word list is only data. What decides whether it sticks is when you review. Tomaru is the vocabulary app that schedules those reviews with spaced repetition: add a list and you get these three things.

1. The whole list becomes a daily plan

   Add one list and Tomaru splits it into new words and reviews due today. No pages to divide up, nothing to decide before you start.

2. Weak words come back more often

   Recall first, then check. Words you miss return sooner, words you know move further out, so the time goes on what you have not learned yet.

3. You never reread the whole list

   Spaced repetition puts each review just before you would forget, so a few words a day keep the entire list in memory.
