01The check

A Japanese passage that failed the check.

AI writes every draft. Then a language analyzer reads every word and grammar form. Anything above the level goes back for a rewrite. In the reader, Why this is N4 shows what was held back.

At about N4, て-form and plain past are in. ている, conditionals, potential, causative, passive, relative clauses, and keigo are held back. Some of those appear on N4 study lists, but the check stays on the safe side.

Asked for “Write something easy for a beginner learning Japanese.”

駅前のパン屋で働いているている, relative clause田中さんは、毎朝五時に起きます。焼きたてのパンを買いに来るrelative clauseお客様がいらっしゃるkeigoと、「おはようございます」と言います。もし雨が降ったらconditional、お客様は少なくなります。

Above N4 in 4 places, across three sentences

田中さんは駅の前のパン屋で働きます。毎朝五時に起きて、パンを焼きます。八時に店を開けます。お客さんはパンを買って、「おはようございます」と言います。雨の日はお客さんが少ないです。

02Reading moves you up

Your level moves when your reading does.

An 8-minute test sets where you start. Each step fills as you meet its core words, pass the quizzes, and keep reading over several days. Then a short check moves you up.

Rate each passage too easy, just right, or too hard. Ratings choose your next text. They never change your level.

Once a day, one news passage from a real wire story joins your shelf at your level, checked like the rest.

A cliff of carved Japanese words, from everyday greetings at the top to older writing at the base.
