Japanese Vocabulary Practice
Welcome to the Japanese practice page. You will be asked the meaning of a Japanese word and your job is to type the English meaning into the text box. Press 'Go' or simply press 'Enter' on your keyboard to submit your answer.
You will then be told wether your answer is right or wrong. You can either try again, or move onto the next question. Your missed questions and the correct translations will be displayed at the end of the quiz so you will know what to study.
Press 'Start' to begin. Good Luck!

If you find that this webpage has been beneficial to you and you happen to know me irl, I'd be very appreciative if you would be willing to slip me your spare change every now and then if you happen to have any. Hosting a website like this costs some money, so any donations will help me cover those costs. Please let me know if I've made typos in the quiz with any vocabulary so I can make corrections. Feedback is welcome and appreciated. Also, please let me know of any bugs you may find. All bugs will be moved to a future update 😜.
Website goals
In order from highest priority to lowest:
- Add all vocabulary up to current lesson
- Add toggle button to switch between viewing kanji or hirogana in the question box
- Make new page for practicing lesson kanji
- Add all vocabulary up to the final lesson
Latest Changes/Improvements
12/01/2025
Fixed a bug where if you typed a "smart" apostrophe ( ’ ) instead of a normal apostrophe ( ' ), the answer would be marked incorrect. This was mostly a problem for mobile users.
11/03/2025 - 11/18/2025
- Added all Lesson 17 vocabulary
- Added all L10-L16 vocabulary
- Minor changes to L14 vocabulary
- Added check for when vocabulary and lesson selections results in an empty quiz.
- Minor code optimizations
- Minor bug fixes
- Added all L4-L9 and new L18 vocabulary
- Added all L1-L3 vocabulary
11/02/2025
- UI changes
- You can now choose whether you want to translate from Japanese to English, English to Japanese, or Both.
- You can now select which vocabulary you want to include in you practice.
- You can now select which lesson you to practice vocabulary from.
- Added quiz statistics which displayes at the end of the quiz.
- Added a list of incorrect words which displayes at the end of the quiz.
- Cleaned up code and made it prettier.
As of now there is only vocabulary for the Lesson 3 verbs and all of Lesson 14. I will add the vocabulary from other lessons throughout the week/s, prioritizing the latest material and working my way backwards. I haven't added the vocabulary yet because I was prioritizing getting the logic for the code functionable (I wrote like 550 lines of code this weekend and my brain is fried). Now that that's done, I will focus on the vocabulary. For words with multiple meanings or kanji equivilent, all equivilent meanings will be displayed in the question prompt or incorrect answers list at the end. This will be fixed later. I will add more practice options for using kanji later. I'm going to start to focus on making the webpage pretty looking soon. Although I've done a lot of debuging, I may not have gotten everything. So if you notice anything weird, don't hesitate to let me know. Thank you and happy studies!

- User Interface changes
- You can now press 'Enter' (return for some of you Apple folks) on your keyboard to submit an answer instead of having to press Go every time.
- Next button now has functionality. Coincidentally, you also no longer have to refresh the page every time you want a new word because I feel like it. Instead simply press the Next button. The button becomes visible after you attempt to make an answer.
- Fixed a rare bug that's been... bugging me... since I started this website a couple years back. Now, (hopefully) the bottom part of the page should become fixed or static and not obstruct any text at the bottom of the webpage.
- Minor code optimizations
Despite what is said at the top of the webpage. As of now the quiz doesn't end and therefore incorrect answers won't be displayed at the end. This feature will be added in a near future update so please stay tuned. Also, the 'Finished' button
still has no functionality.
Future plans also include adding more vocabulary and options to select which type of vocabulary to study (eg. Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives, L8, L13, L4, etc.). I had something else on my mind but I momentarily forgot.
09/29/2025
Did a "quick" (It took an hour) update to add the latest vocab from Lesson 14. May be able to practice a bit before the in class quizzes later today (it's 12:37AM).
Future plans include adding a sort of checkbox to select which type of vocab you want to study and from which lesson. Expected when I feel like it. >:D
Also, I didn't add the code to make it where you don't have to refresh every time. Also to be expected when I feel like it.
09/10/2025
I added compatibility with upper and lower case answers, removed bugs, optimized code.
My next steps will be to add code to make it where you don't have to refresh the page every time you want a new word.
