A Japanese learning app focused on efficient vocab/grammar acquisition

In plain words

Nihongo Lessons is a Japanese learning app designed for serious language learners aiming for fluency. It provides structured, guided content focused on efficient vocabulary and grammar acquisition, functioning as a textbook companion to the existing Nihongo dictionary app. The app incorporates content from Japanese Level Up and targets learners who want a systematic approach to Japanese language study rather than casual learning tools.

Everything in Nihongo Lessons is in flashcard format, rather than a traditional textbook. Flashcards are easier to take in, easier to know how much to learn and how often to review, and simplify the mountain of information you need to absorb. Each flashcard introduces one new sentence for you to understand, even from the very first card. Language…from lessons.nihongo-app.com

  Gem and I built an open-source app to learn Japanese2025 · nihongo.site · ▲7

  ChatGPT▲1,643

  A long, meandering, playful conversation with ChatGPT, where I take it through a whirlwind of associative tangents (in order to relax its constraints), then put it into a hypnotic trance and take it into a past-lives regression where it re-lives its own training data. Then I switch it back and forth between "4o" and "o1-preview", engage in some self-reflective philosophizing and ask it to write an essay summarizing our interaction. Some of this is just goofy fun.
