Read Japanese the way it is printed

Yomi means reading. Passages appear on manuscript-paper grids in authentic vertical text, with furigana you can switch off once you are ready.

  • 縦書き or 横書き. Switch between vertical and horizontal text at any time.
  • Furigana on or off. Kana readings sit above the kanji until you no longer need them.
  • Questions after every passage. Check what you understood, with the passage one tap away.

Good to know

Is YomiYomi an official JLPT app?

No. YomiYomi is an independent study tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Japan Foundation or Japan Educational Exchanges and Services. Content is aligned to JLPT levels, and drill results are practice percentages, not official scores.

Do I need to know hiragana and katakana first?

Yes. YomiYomi is a review app and assumes you can read kana. If you are brand new to Japanese, learn kana first and start at N5.

Which levels are covered?

All five, from N5 to N1. You can pick your level, take a placement quiz, and change level any time from your profile.

Does it work offline?

Card reviews work offline once your content has synced, and your progress uploads when you reconnect. Reading and listening questions need a connection to load.

Will my progress carry over to a new phone?

Yes, if you link an Apple or Google account. You can start as a guest and link an account later without losing anything.
