About this app

What if learning Japanese vocabulary was a fun and crazy game instead of the boring memorization techniques? Drops makes language learning fun and effortless with its practical Japanese vocabulary paired with beautiful graphics, and quick mini games that is bound to enhance your vocab memory.

The interesting part? You only need to do it for 5 mins a day! Yes it might sound insane, but it definitely works like a charm!

Our ingredients to this secret sauce of vocabulary learning are these:

👀 100% illustrated: Images directly carry a meaning – there’s no need to analyze the words in your native language. Nothing in the middle to slow you down. It’s faster, more fun, and definitely effective! :)

🏎 5 minute learning sessions: A limited practice time might sound crazy but that’s what makes it surprisingly addictive when it comes to learning. Can you imagine that you only need 5 mins a day to learn?! You’ll have no excuse even on the busiest day!

🕹 Effortless play: The essence of Drops is to get into a fun and addictive game while learning. The end-result is an immersive experience that is fun to do while not wasting your time because you will build valuable language knowledge in the process.

⚡Quick: Gone is the painful and slow keyboard typing. Rapid swipes and taps is all you need. Trust us, you’ll need those extra seconds in the quick learning session. ;)

🎯 Vocabulary only: Handpicked practical words, and zero grammar. That’s the focus of Drops and we do it tremendously well as you learn the Japanese language. Hiragana and Katakana learning is in the app too!

💁Forge a habit: We want to make you a language learning addict with Drops. All you need is well-established habit plus the effectiveness of Drops. And don’t you worry, we are here to help you build that habit too.

Our lovely word pronunciations by our experienced Japanese voice talents are also a big hit!

Hello, Drops Team! Could you please fix the issue with the app being stuck at the last second of every session? It is really annoying to have to wait for 20 secons every time to come back to learning. Also, I would like to have an option to switch off the "5-in-a-row", because it is distracting. All the rest is awesome! Thank you for your hard work.

The subscription is obscenely costly even with the nigh-permanent 40% discount they give, but the free content is very good. There are an amazing variety in questions, pretty animations and high accuracy of the translations. I really want to support this app, but the price is way too high.

I originally gave 5 stars to this app and even bought year premium. But now it infuriate me to the point I deleted it. I used it for Chinese this summer and now I have been using it for Japanese till this momen. Your writing exercises are terrible!!! They start easy but when you have to draw line without visual assist it becomes terrible because for some reason app wants you to draw with robot-like precision. Hello! I am drawing with my thumb on 5 or 6 inch phone. It's not going to be perfect!
