Flash cards from your reading
Each card keeps the sentences you met it in. It asks you to read a word, and to write it if you like, and quizzes you right before you'd forget it.
- Spaced repetition (FSRS-6), on any device, auto-synced.
- A writing pad in the card, for kanji.
- Choose between 4-button response, or 2-button pass/fail.

Every Japanese schoolchild has to read these, and we know how much you want to be a Japanese schoolchild. You don't have to login to read or try out the dictionary and explanation tools. (You do need an unpaid account to save and study flash cards though.)
