App Description
Read Hundreds of Illustrated Graded Stories in Japanese and learn in context !
Shinobi: Read & Learn Japanese is the first reading-focused app that lets you grow from absolute beginner (below JLPT N5) all the way to JLPT N1—and beyond—through richly illustrated graded stories, daily easy news, and smart review tools. Instead of memorising lists, you absorb vocabulary, kanji and grammar together, in context.
What makes Shinobi different ?
• Graded illustrated stories – Hundreds of short, level-tagged stories written by native Japanese teachers. Art, dialog and narration evolve as your level rises, keeping difficulty just right.
• Daily easy news – Follow Japanese news with bite-sized articles rewritten for learners; expand your vocabulary while exploring fresh topics every day.
• Multi-input immersion – Each page combines images, audio and clean text. Seeing, hearing and reading at once builds natural comprehension.
• Think-in-Japanese approach – Inline hints keep you inside the language; you understand meaning without bouncing back to your native tongue, training real-time thinking skills.
• Smart review built in – Tap any word or kanji to save it; spaced-repetition decks surface items just before you forget them, so knowledge sticks effortlessly.
• Kanji, grammar and vocab together – No need for separate apps: stories show how kanji, sentence patterns and new words work side-by-side inside a real story.
• Adaptive progression – Toggle Furigana on and Off, hide specific furigana and bookmarks important words.
