Speedanki JLPT flashcards makeover!

[Vili]

Hi everyone,

This is not exactly breaking news, but I thought I'd announce it here as well that the old and venerable JLPT flashcard site Speedanki is under new management. We've made some updates and improvements and will continue to do so at a leisurely pace. We've also opened a blog where you can leave comments and voice your opinions on Speedanki to the developers (all two of us).

For those who are not familiar with it, Speedanki is a popular online flashcard system for memorizing JLPT vocabulary from level 4 to 1. It's completely free to use (although we might add some ads at some point). Speedanki's strengths are its simplicity and great example sentences that help in memorizing the cards.

Check it out and tell your friends, too!

Cheers,

Thanks for the update.

I was wondering if you new anything about your sister site, Nihongo-Juku. It is a great blog that is really helping me improve my reading. But there have been no new posts for several years.

Thanks for helping me learn Japanese!!

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your kind words regarding Speedanki.

Njuku is a great resource, but the couple who were running it unfortunately got too busy to update it anymore. It's a shame, but no wonder, must have been a huge chore. The existing content will stay up though, which is nice.
