JLPT Coach helps Japanese learners build reading confidence through short, engaging stories set in various cultural contexts. Every story is graded to a specific JLPT level — from Beginner to N1 — with matched grammar and vocabulary, so you're always reading at the right level.

Not at all. Our Beginner level uses hiragana with romaji so you can start from zero. As you improve, move up through N5 to N1 at your own pace.

While reading, tap any word to instantly see its meaning, reading, and example sentences. The dictionary automatically handles verb conjugations and adjective forms, so it works even when words appear in their inflected form.

Furigana are small pronunciation guides shown above kanji characters. They let you read stories at a higher level than you could manage with kanji alone, helping you learn new characters naturally in context.

Each story ends with a short comprehension quiz (up to 3 questions). You can also save any word to your vocabulary list and practice it later with flashcards.

You can read the first 2 stories at every level for free — no credit card required. This includes full access to the dictionary, quizzes, and audio for those stories.

JLPT Coach is a web app that works on any device with a browser — phone, tablet, or desktop. No app download needed. You can also switch between light and dark mode.
