Description

Nihongo is an offline Japanese dictionary, flashcard app, and reading assistant, designed to make the best use of the time you dedicate to studying Japanese.

Our dictionary is made to find what you're looking for fast, with the words Japanese speakers actually use at the top of every search result, and every word marked as "common", "uncommon", or "rare".

"Clippings", our reading assistant, is what makes Nihongo stand apart from other dictionaries. Paste in Japanese text from a website, email, an eBook, or anywhere else, and we'll add furigana or romaji to every word. We also enable you to tap on any word to see its definition. This will truly change the way you read Japanese. And now, you can get the same experience right in Safari using our Safari extension.

Personal experience (as well as a good deal of research in second-language acquisition) has shown us that the words that you're most likely to remember are the words that you're encountering naturally. To this end Nihongo automatically draws from your search history and clippings to compile flashcard decks filled with words for which you already have context. This makes it easy to study both the words you looked up during Japanese class, and those that appear in your favorite song or videogame. And by adding notes to the back of flashcards you can further connect each vocabulary word to your personal contextual understanding.

Kanji flashcards prompt you to draw the missing kanji from the words you're studying, creating stronger connections between the characters and their real-world use. Built-in kanji decks give you 2 or 3 key words to study for each kanji.

This app is only possible because of the JMDict (edrdg.org) and Tatoeba (tatoeba.org) projects. I highly encourage you to support these incredible projects that make apps like Nihongo possible!

Good job

JemimaBerneth on

Very convenient to use

Best for learners

Mc Lein on

Pricing is cheap but extremely helpful for immersing and learning with native Japanese content. The OCR feature is very helpful when I am reading hard copy magazines and cannot recognize Kanji.

SUPER HELPFUL!

I am looking forward for a new version where English text and Kana are hidable.

Hghly Recommended for Beginners!

Charissa de la Rosa on

I'm still in N5 and on a lookout for a great kanji dictionary. Then I saw this and decided to give it a try. Best decision ever! I found a great kanji dictionary and so much more! This has a lot of notable features but what I love the most about it is the fact that I can take a picture and instantly it breaks down the sentence to something that's easy to understand! I'm currently playing a Japanese game with the most basic knowledge on grammar and can only read hiragana and katakana so you bet I'm having a hard time with all those unfamiliar kanjis. It is indeed hard but with the help of this app, it just made my life easier! Seriously, thank you so much for this. What a lifesaver! I'll definitely get the lifetime subscription. :)

Best... ever...

This app amazed me every step of the way. From the detailed definitions, to example sentences, to even the complete tenses (so useful). Then even the flash card settings had anticipated everything I would need. 100% worth the lifetime subscription, no regrets whatsoever :)

BEST APP
