The problem with most Japanese apps

The Reading Gap

You've drilled kanji, memorized vocabulary, and studied grammar for months. Then you open a JLPT passage and can't get past the first sentence.

The Content Desert

Good graded readers are scarce, expensive, or written for children. The few that exist rarely match JLPT levels, so you're always reading above or below your ability.

The App Juggle

One app for kanji, another for grammar, another for vocab. You're paying for three subscriptions and none of them teach you to read.

A reading-first app for serious JLPT learners

JLPT Coach is built for the one skill most apps ignore: preparing for the most challenging part of the exam - Reading. Here's how it works.

Read JLPT-aligned stories from Beginner to N1, with hiragana, katakana, romaji, and English translation at beginner levels, so the difficulty always feels right for your stage.

Immerse yourself in audio-enabled stories on topics like family, work, travel, and everyday life. Reading that actually feels engaging.

Stay immersed with tap-to-lookup words, examples, and furigana without switching apps or tabs.

Test your comprehension with JLPT-style reading questions after every story, the same format you'll face on exam day.

Save words and revise vocabulary with built-in flashcards so new words actually stick.

Come back to new stories added regularly, so you never run out of fresh content at your level.

Track your completed stories and number of words learned as you progress.
