Why flashcards plus spaced repetition beat rote memorization

You don't remember a word from seeing it once. Spaced repetition — reviewing a word right before you'd forget it — is the most efficient path to long-term memory. In this preview, you flip a card, rate it Hard / Good / Easy, and move on to the next one — a single linear pass. The PiPi Words app adds the SM-2 algorithm, bringing harder words back and scheduling each word's next review automatically.

How many words does JLPT N5 need?

JLPT N5 is the most basic level of the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test, covering roughly 800 core words. Starting with everyday verbs like 食べる (to eat), 飲む (to drink), and 行く (to go) builds a fast foundation for conversation and reading. This preview offers a taste of those core words.

Learn the kanji reading alongside the word

Japanese words pair kanji with a reading in hiragana. 食べる is read "taberu." Seeing the kanji and reading on the front of the card, then the meaning and an example on the back, connects shape, sound, and meaning in one pass.

Anchor words in context with examples

Memorizing words in isolation rarely transfers to real sentences. Each card includes a short example like 朝ごはんを食べる (to eat breakfast) with a translation, so you absorb how the word actually behaves in a sentence.

Quiz yourself for retrieval practice

Recalling is stronger than reviewing. The multiple-choice quiz is retrieval practice — you actively choose the meaning, testing whether you truly know the words you just studied. Wrong answers immediately reveal the correct meaning and an example.

FAQ

Can this preview alone prepare me for JLPT N5?

This web preview is a taste of the core words. The full N5 vocabulary (~800 words), five quiz types, spaced-repetition scheduling, and study stats live in the PiPi Words app. Use the preview to confirm the method fits you, then continue in the app.

What's the difference between Hard / Good / Easy?

They mark how well you recalled the word. In this web preview, whichever one you tap simply records your rating and advances to the next card. Turning that rating into a review schedule — resurfacing harder words and setting the next review date — is what the PiPi Words app does.

Is it only Japanese?

PiPi Words is a two-way Korean–Japanese app. Korean speakers learn Japanese (JLPT); Japanese speakers learn Korean (TOPIK). This web preview switches direction based on your language.

Is my progress saved?

This preview runs within a single session and does not build long-term history. Daily reviews, cumulative progress, the voyage map, and streaks are managed in the PiPi Words app.

Is anything sent to a server?

No. The word data and study actions are handled entirely in your browser. There are no third-party analytics or ad trackers.
