How is JLPT Lord different from Anki?

JLPT Lord is purpose-built for Japanese learners. There's no setup, no hunting for decks, and no configuration. All 5,000+ official JLPT words are built in with romaji, definitions, and spaced repetition — ready to go in seconds.

Can I use it on my phone?

Absolutely! JLPT Lord is fully responsive and works great on any device — phone, tablet, or computer. Just open your browser and start studying. No app download required.

What if I already know some Japanese?

Take our free placement test to find your level, or just pick the JLPT level that matches your ability. You can start at JLPT N5 or jump straight to JLPT N1 — it's up to you.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, absolutely. There are no contracts or commitments. You can cancel your subscription at any time and you'll keep access until the end of your billing period.

He writes the explanatory content on JLPTLord personally, reviews every vocabulary set before publication, and corresponds with JLEES / Japan Foundation test centres to verify format changes under the JLPT 3.0 reforms.
