Review momentum
ⓘ How we measure thisReview momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
About Bento: Learn Japanese & JLPT
Bento Japanese is a Japanese learning app with bite-sized lessons on grammar, vocabulary, hiragana, katakana and kanji, practice for vocab, grammar, kanji, kana and handwriting, JLPT practice tests, and graded readers and JLPT-leveled articles that put each lesson to use right away.
LESSONS THAT ACTUALLY STICK
Each lesson takes 2 to 5 minutes and covers one thing: a grammar point, a set of words, a kana row, a handful of kanji. No hour-long units, no filler. And unlike most apps, what you learn shows up in your next reading, so grammar and vocab click because you meet them in real sentences about real things.
YOUR DAILY JAPANESE, DONE IN 15 MINUTES
Every day, Bento gives you one lesson, one reading, and one review. A small habit that compounds into real Japanese over time, with no guilt about the day you skip.
今日のBento、完了。また明日ね。
ALL YOUR PRACTICE IN ONE PLACE
The Practice tab brings vocab, grammar, kanji, kana, writing and JLPT practice together. Tap any word while reading to save it, and your trainer drills the words and kanji you've actually met, with the original sentence right there for context. Grammar drills cover particles, verb forms, conditionals and more. No pre-made lists of words you'll never use.
WRITE KANA AND KANJI BY HAND
Trace, then write from memory, with stroke-by-stroke checking that shows you where each stroke goes. Practice hiragana, katakana and JLPT N5 to N1 kanji, earn XP and watch each character move from new to mastered.
READ REAL JAPANESE AT YOUR LEVEL
Graded readers and JLPT-leveled articles written for learners, from absolute beginner to N1. Tap any word for an instant definition, translate any line when you get stuck, and listen along with audio. Stories about daily life in Japan, food, travel, work, festivals and more.
A CLEAR PATH FROM ZERO TO N1
Bento uses a simple rank system, F through S, so you always know where you are and what's next. Start with hiragana and katakana, build through N5 and N4, and work toward N3, N2 and N1. Your Stats show your study time and how your vocabulary grows over time.
Studying for the JLPT? Bento builds the grammar recognition, kanji recall and reading speed the test actually requires, through daily lessons and reading instead of exam drills alone. When you're ready, take a JLPT practice test at your level and see what to work on next.
BENTO IS A JAPANESE LEARNING APP
Not a bento box brand. Not a food app. The name is a nod to learning in small, satisfying portions, like a well-packed bento: every element in its place, nothing wasted.
START FREE
Bento is free to download with no time limit on core features. Start from your first hiragana, or jump in where you feel comfortable.
がんばれ。
Thanks for trying Bento Japanese! よろしくね (^o^)
