Progress
How many new words and reviews are due today, and how far each level has come.
A Japanese learning app for Chinese speakers
Learn Japanese in the order it clicks.
Vocabulary, grammar, exercises and reference tables from N5 to N1, all in one app. Work through the levels in order, a little every day, and let the review queue point you back at the words that need it.
Six tabs, one path
From progress to reference, every step lives in the same app.
No hopping between apps. Every tab exists to answer "what should I study today?"
Vocabulary
Word pools by level, shuffled into a deck. Every card carries kana, reading and example sentences.
Exercises
Fill-in-the-blank questions grouped by grammar point, with the answer and an explanation right away.
Grammar
Grammar points in order of difficulty, each with its own example sentences.
Reference
Kana, numbers, counters, colours, weekdays and dates — there when you need them.
Read aloud
Words, sentences and kana all speak, using the device's own Japanese voice.
Screens
Six tabs, each doing one thing.
The whole interface is available in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and English, following your phone's setting.
What makes it different
A few details we care about.
- Kana sits above the kanji. The reading belongs to the word, not the character — Japanese reads words, not characters.
- Example sentences come with their translation right underneath, so you never have to guess which sentence you just read.
- Once the material is downloaded it lives on your phone, so revision works offline.
- You can finish all of N5 without an account. Signing in is optional and only exists so your progress follows you to a new phone.
- No ads, no tracking, no data brokers. Your study history is visible to you and to our server, and nobody else.
About this app
What Progressive Nihongo is.
Progressive Nihongo (漸進日語) is a Japanese learning app developed and operated by Coretrix Technology Limited (果核科技有限公司). Its material is layered by JLPT level from N5 to N1: word cards, grammar points, exercises and reference tables, and every card can speak.
All the material was written for this app — it is not a textbook moved onto a phone, but a reordering of concepts by how they build on each other. An account is optional: you can use all of N5 without one; signing in is what lets your progress follow you to a new device.
