Welcome to Yomuze

New JLPT N5 Vocabulary Quiz!

There are now four fantastic quizzes to choose from. The newest quiz tests your knowledge of basic Japanese vocabulary while simultaneously testing your ability to read multiple kana. It uses the JLPT level N5 vocabulary. Of course, you can still take the original kana quizzes, if you are still learning the kana. If you need some review on the kana, refresh your memory with the kana tables. Then drill the hiragana and katakana with instant feedback using the “Endless Quiz.” And when you think you’re ready, measure your kana knowledge with the “Final Exam.”

You can use the Google Gadgets to put Yomuze where ever you want. There are great flashcard gadgets for kana and vocabulary. You can also use the Yomuze RSS Feed to get the kana of the day, and mix your kana study into the rest your life.
