New N2!
N2, Lesson 7 is now available! 20 new grammar points to further your studies!
Dark Mode
After introducing a new look for Bunpro, we received a number of requests for a modern look with a darker color palette.
Go to Account, Settings, Site Theme, and choose Modern Dark to try it out. Please let us know what you think!
Related Grammar
N5 and N4 lessons have now been populated with over 900 related grammar structures.
Compare and contrast similar grammar structures, nuances, and example sentences side-by-side, all in the same window.
New Audio - All of N4 now has audio accompanying each example sentence and study question!
Bug fixes:
・Japanese and English sentences that require two or more lines should no longer overlap each other.
・Notes no longer preserve styling when copying and pasting from other sites, which means they should now display normally and not interfere with any content on the grammar page.
Thank you for all of your kind words, support, feedback, bug reports and suggestions. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do to improve your experience! Cheers!

Cram Update!
With the December JLPT less than a month away, it is the perfect time to start cramming!
We have added a few features to Cram to enhance your grammar studies.
- You can now see stats about your cram sessions. These include stats such as overall accuracy, total time spent cramming, and reviews per cram session.
- In addition to All, Studied and Studied Sentences, you can now choose to study ‘Troubled Grammar’. This is grammar that you have missed more than four times during your normal review sessions.
We have also made additional changes to the summary and stats pages for both normal reviews and cram sessions. Instead of showing your accuracy percentage as a whole number, it will now show up to two decimal places so you can see and measure your progress in finer detail.
What's Cram, again?
- Cram allows you to review random example sentences from a particular JLPT level.
- Cram draws from every available study question in our database to cover a variety of situations and nuances.
- You can cram for as long as you like without affecting your normal review SRS.
If you would like to see a certain stat, or you have any suggestions on how to improve Bunpro, please let us know!
Cheers!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! We are thankful for all of your kind words, support and feedback. We hope that we can continue to live up to your expectations!
New N2!
N2 Lesson 10 is now available! While we still have some sentences to add and there will inevitably be some grammar points that we will include in the future, the core of JLPT N2 is finally here! With just over a week until the December JLPT, we realize that this does not give you ample time to study all of the newly added grammar points, but we hope that you can brush up on some points that you might be having trouble with and maybe even get a few cram sessions in.
N2 Lesson 1 now has 12 sentences and 12 review questions!
Happy studying and good luck to everyone taking the December JLPT! Cheers

- Track how many days in a row you have studied.
- Get motivated to make progress by earning XP, leveling up and collecting badges.
- Block out distractions and focus during reviews.
Study Streak
Bunpro now tracks the amount of consecutive days you have signed into Bunpro and have done at least one review.
XP
Everyone will now earn experience points from reviewing grammar on Bunpro. Every time you put in a correct answer for a grammar point in reviews, you will receive XP. The amount of XP you earn is directly proportional to the grammar point’s current streak.
XP Breakdown by Streak
Streak 1: 10XP
Streak 2: 20XP
Streak 3: 30XP
Streak 4: 40XP
Streak 5: 50XP
Streak 6: 60XP
Streak 7: 70XP
Streak 8: 80XP
Streak 9: 90XP
Streak 10: 100XP
Streak 11: 150XP
Streak 12: 200XP
The amount of XP you have earned can be viewed under the Account dropdown or on your Profile page.
Levels and Badges
You can now level up in Bunpro! Your level corresponds to the amount of XP you have earned from reviewing grammar. The amount of XP required for reaching the next level is shown on the right side of the XP progress bar in Reviews or in the Account dropdown.
You will also be rewarded with badges, medals and other achievements for earning a certain number of XP, leveling up, staying consistent with your studies, or completing hidden challenges.
Focus
To better maintain focus on your studies, you now have the ability to hide the heads-up display (HUD) in reviews. This includes the top menu bar, your remaining review count, percentage, SRS and ghost review indicators, and your XP progress bar.
Simply click Focus On in the dropdown menu in reviews to turn on Focus. Set Focus to your default review set up in Settings.
