Every days, months and time word on the JLPT lists with its reading and meaning, the beginner ones in a real sentence. Filter it, flip it into flashcards, or carry it on your Lock Screen with Lock&Learn Japanese.
The words that place things in time: the days of the week, the months, the seasons, today and tomorrow, morning and evening, hours and minutes. Every entry is drawn from the JLPT vocabulary lists with its reading and meaning.
In Lock&Learn Japanese these words sit in their level packs (JLPT N5, JLPT N4, JLPT N3, JLPT N2), one per glance on the widget: a word waits in kanji, the way the test shows it; one tap reveals the reading, the meaning and a real sentence. JLPT N5 is free; every other pack opens with a free preview and another word unlocks daily.
Type to filter by word, reading or meaning. Flashcards hides the reading and the meaning until you tap a row; Shuffle deals the list in a new order.

Word lists: the widely used JLPT N5 to N1 sets after Jonathan Waller's tanos.co.uk lists (the JLPT publishes no official lists). Definitions adapted from JMdict by the EDRDG, licensed CC BY-SA 4.0. Example sentences are original Lock&Learn content.
They are in the table below with their readings, together with the months, the seasons and the everyday time words. The 90 entries all come from the JLPT vocabulary lists.
68 from JLPT N5, 14 from JLPT N4, 1 from JLPT N3, 7 from JLPT N2. The level chip on each row says where the word sits, so you can stop at your level or read ahead. Beginner-level words carry a real example sentence; the rest show word, reading and meaning, with their sentences in the app.
Install Lock&Learn Japanese, then touch and hold your Lock Screen, tap Customize, tap the widget area and choose Lock&Learn Japanese. Enable the level packs these words come from (JLPT N5, JLPT N4, JLPT N3 and more). A word waits in kanji, the way the test shows it; one tap reveals the reading, the meaning and a real sentence.
Yes. The app is free on iOS: JLPT N5 is free, every other pack opens with a free preview, and another word unlocks daily. Lock&Learn+ is an optional upgrade that opens every pack at once, offered as a yearly plan or a one-time lifetime purchase.
