Update! N3 & N2 Vocab Hints (April 23, 2025)

Hey Everyone! :wave:

It has been a while since the last hint update, but I would like to announce that N3 and N2 hints are now live! :tada:


Hints :mag:

Similar to the grammar hints, these hints have been written so that it describes the word that is being tested! Since each word will have both a English and a Japanese hint, you will have the option to switch which language to use. We tried our best to keep the wording of the English hints and the Japanese hints consistent so that students would be able to switch between the two if they are unsure about what the Japanese hint is asking for.

Example:
εŠͺεŠ›

  • δ½•γ‹γ‚’ζˆγ—ι‚γ’γ‚‹γŸγ‚γ«γ€ε‡Ίζ₯γ‚‹ι™γ‚Šι ‘εΌ΅γ‚‹γ“γ¨γ€‚
  • To put in as much effort as possible in order to achieve something.

Although we tried our best to provide a 1:1 translation for most hints, there are cases where they do not translate 1:1. The reasons for this is because sometimes the English hint would use the target word and because sometimes a direct translation does not sound natural or carry the nuance that we want to get across.


Goals :goal_net:

Our goal for these hints are to help students transition to studying using primarily Japanese. This feature would be really helpful once one reaches a sufficient level, since the hints could help students with understanding Japanese from a different angle. By providing students with these hints in both English and Japanese, we believe that they will develop a deeper understanding of each word, and see how words that seem similar differ by seeing what the hint focuses on.

Just like with grammar, these hints will help students learn how to explain vocab in Japanese and could help one to learn words that are associated/similar to the word that is being tested. Also, knowing exactly what is being asked will make it easier to answer questions without looking at the English translation.


Thank You! :blush:

We hope that you find the new update useful! We believe that this is a feature every student should take advantage of when they are at the appropriate level, since it could be a good way to immerse yourself with Japanese and would be an excellent opportunity to understand Japanese on a whole new level!

We would appreciate any and all feedback so that we are able to keep improving it over time. As always thank you for your continuous support!

I hope that everyone has an AMAZING day! :bowing_man:
