Jengo is a Japanese vocabulary study app that generates personalized reading
stories around the words you're learning. Currently free to use.
Flashcards strip context. Consuming native content takes hours before you encountering the words you need. Jengo solves both problems with flashcard precision and native depth. Every session, it identifies the exact words due for review, then generates fresh reading passages built around them. You read, tap anything unfamiliar, and submit. Each passage continues a running story. Words appear in real sentences, every time.
Features:
• Custom spaced repetition — every word scheduled to the moment before you'd forget
it
• Story mode — passages connect into an ongoing narrative
• Listening mode — turn those stories into a podcast!
• AI explanations and extra example sentences for any word, on demand
• Japanese text-to-speech for every passage
• Dictionary lookup on any tapped word (JMdict)
• JLPT N5–N1 ready-to-go decks or import your own words/decks
• Statistics about your learning progress.
