About this app

What if 🇯🇵 Japanese vocabulary learning would be a crazy fun game instead of boring memorisation drills? Drops makes language learning an effortless fun. Practical vocabulary is bound to your memories through beautiful graphics and quick mini-games.
The crazy part? You have only 5 mins per day. Might sound insane but works like charm! :)
These are the ingredients of the secret sauce:
👀 100% illustrated: Pictures directly carry the meaning - you don’t have to use your native language at all! No intermediary. Faster, more effective and of course more fun! :)
🏎 5 min sessions: limiting practice time sounds crazy but it it makes it incredibly addictive - which is cool thing for learning. The barrier of entry is close to zero so you can’t have any excuses: you’ll have 5 minutes even on the busiest day!
🕹 Effortless play: We know why games are fun and addictive and distilled the essence into Drops. The result is a truly immersive experience but it’s not waste of your time while you play because you build a valuable knowledge.
⚡Qucik: Keyboard typing is painfully slow. Welcome rapid swipes and taps! Trust us, you’ll need those extra seconds during the quick learning session ;)
🎯 Vocabulary only: Zero grammar, just handpicked practical words. That’s our focus and we do it extremely well. The app teaches the Korean “alphabet” Hangul (hangoul) too!
💁Forge a habit: Drops wants to make you language learning addict. Effectiveness is nothing without a well established habit. We help you build one!
We are extremely proud of our lovely word pronunciations by seasoned voice talents!
Drops is free for casual learners: more than 2500 words in 100+ topics are all available for everyone. Hardcore language learners can subscribe for premium to progress faster with unlimited learning time.

🌍 Our goal is to empower people of the world via language knowledge by providing a special tool that utilizes the universal language we all speak: pictures.


p.s.: be careful, this app really can get you addicted to to language learning.

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!
