About this app
What if 🇯🇵 Japanese vocabulary learning would be a crazy fun game instead of boring memorisation drills? Drops makes language learning an effortless fun. Practical vocabulary is bound to your memories through beautiful graphics and quick mini-games.
The crazy part? You have only 5 mins per day. Might sound insane but works like charm! :)
These are the ingredients of the secret sauce:
👀 100% illustrated: Pictures directly carry the meaning - you don’t have to use your native language at all! No intermediary. Faster, more effective and of course more fun! :)
🏎 5 min sessions: limiting practice time sounds crazy but it it makes it incredibly addictive - which is cool thing for learning. The barrier of entry is close to zero so you can’t have any excuses: you’ll have 5 minutes even on the busiest day!
🕹 Effortless play: We know why games are fun and addictive and distilled the essence into Drops. The result is a truly immersive experience but it’s not waste of your time while you play because you build a valuable knowledge.
⚡Qucik: Keyboard typing is painfully slow. Welcome rapid swipes and taps! Trust us, you’ll need those extra seconds during the quick learning session ;)
🎯 Vocabulary only: Zero grammar, just handpicked practical words. That’s our focus and we do it extremely well. The app teaches the Korean “alphabet” Hangul (hangoul) too!
💁Forge a habit: Drops wants to make you language learning addict. Effectiveness is nothing without a well established habit. We help you build one!
We are extremely proud of our lovely word pronunciations by seasoned voice talents!
Drops is free for casual learners: more than 2500 words in 100+ topics are all available for everyone. Hardcore language learners can subscribe for premium to progress faster with unlimited learning time.
🌍 Our goal is to empower people of the world via language knowledge by providing a special tool that utilizes the universal language we all speak: pictures.
p.s.: be careful, this app really can get you addicted to to language learning.

In general the concept if the app is nice, but for this version to learn Japanese it has 2 major problems, which have nothing to do that I tested the free version. 1st, most of the words taught are not very interesting or relevant, and as many modern English words are very similar adapted sounding in Japanese you don't feel like you really learn Japanese words. I do not need or want to learn words like hotdog, hamburger or fast-food when it comes to food and realize that they almost sound the same. There are no typical Japanese food words in there. At least not in the first 2 sections. Usually you learn the language together with the culture, but this app seems just to be tailored from English speakers to an western (American?) society. Same goes for many other topics. I've been to Japan a couple of times and have a good feeling of what kind of words would be usefull to know there. 2nd problem, if you are already advanced in your Kana and switch to Kanji display, you solemnly rely on the audio to learn the proper pronunciation. It would be very helpful to have the additional Kana above the Kanji characters optional.

Hi Jan, Thanks for your feedback and suggestion. We are definitely planning to add additional Kana above the Kanji characters. We would really appreciate if you could send us more examples of the words to support@languagedrops.com. Thanks for your cooperation and assistance!

I really love studying with this app. It's so easy and helps you connect the words with images instead of your primary language so your brain gets trained to think in (this case) Japanese! Even using it for only 5 minutes helps improve your vocabulary so much! There is only one wish I have: The vocabulary about religion is really scarce, yet I believe it is important to be able to talk about this too, especially for someone like me, who lives in Kyoto. Overall a great app for all learners!

I really love this app. The content and the style is amazing. I do think that 5 minutes a day are quite short, but this motivates you to keep going everyday. But after the last update, I can't deactivate the sound if a want to hear the pronunciation. That is really annoying!!! I want to learn new words and don't want to be sidetracked by this horrible noise! Please fix this, because it's impossible to focus on learning!
