Connect the reading to the whole word
A kanji does not necessarily have the same reading in every word. Learn the reading in the word you are studying. Recognising one character does not mean you can read every word containing it.
Use romanisation as a bridge
Vocabee displays Japanese writing with a Latin-script reading. That support can make the first encounter easier. As you learn hiragana and katakana, look at the original writing first rather than guessing from romaji alone.
A small practice example
After finding the meaning from the written word, reverse the task and retrieve the Japanese, then listen. These examples show basic meanings; vowel length and pronunciation need listening practice too.
This course in Vocabee
The published catalog contains 19,922 word/sense entries for this target language. Counts can vary by teaching language; they are not counts of word families or a certified proficiency measure.
Words are organised in A1–C2 study bands and units of about 50 entries. Meet a small group, answer in both directions and return for later reviews.
Supported teaching languages: Arabic, English, Spanish, French, Hindi, Indonesian, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Vietnamese.
Are the A1–C2 bands equivalent to JLPT levels?
No. Vocabee’s study bands are not a direct mapping to JLPT N5–N1. For JLPT preparation, work separately on the exam’s reading, listening and grammar requirements.
What should accompany card practice?
Add short readings, listening and actual conversations. Finding the correct answer on a card does not mean you can use the word in every context. Check the meaning first, then try to retrieve it independently after a break.
