Zenshin Japanese

Japanese mastery through output learning

Output first, not passive recognition.

Active recall beats re-reading

Practicing retrieval strengthens memory and long-term retention more than repeated study.

Produce, don't just recognize

Writing and speaking forces you to choose grammar and words, creating deeper processing that sticks.

Self-generated sticks better

Creating your own output (sentences) boosts memory vs. passive review.

How it works

1

Quick Assessment

Quick placement to estimate JLPT level and ask whether to include gairaigo (loanwords). This lets Zenshin tailor your content and avoid flooding you with loanwords if you don't want them.

2

Set your focus

Pick JLPT bands (N5 → N1) and content categories (core, gairaigo core/extra, proper nouns). You stay in control.

3

Daily recall assignments

Get personalized exercises that train your recall and output using relevant vocabulary and grammar patterns. Practice retrieving Japanese from memory to strengthen retention.

4

Smart feedback

Get correctness + naturalness with concrete suggestions (particles, word choice, register). Short by default; deep dive on demand.

5

Review freely

Your sentences/words are saved to a dashboard. Review with spaced repetition so you can practice as much as you want.

Don't believe us, believe science

Scientifically backed exercises for effective language learning

Output-based vocabulary learning

Recent research shows that actively producing language significantly improves vocabulary retention compared to passive input methods. Output-based activities enhance productive vocabulary knowledge.

Production / generation effects

Saying/writing/creating content yields better memory than passive reading. Your own sentences stick better than pre-made examples.
