The place to review Japanese

Practice Japanese online or on-the-go

Review kanji like a pro

Reviewing Chinese characters has traditionally been a pain for students of Japanese. At NihongoUp we tackle kanji in a methodical and meaningful way, and our advanced learning algorithms will test you on kanji that are in need of review and appropriate to your level. You’ll get detailed statistics telling you how well you really know the kanji, and useful pointers, mnemonics and compounds to unlock the power of the Japanese writing system.

Online Japanese dictionaries are a dime a dozen these days, but the NihongoUp suite of lookup tools have been hand-crafted from the ground up with our users in mind. Gone are the days of thousands of useless search results and confusing acronyms. Our lookup dictionary is sleek, fast and powerful and the unique grammar database is exceptional at quickly finding a grammar point, presenting an explanation, examples and links to further explanation.
