How do I express feelings in Japanese?

The 30 words below are the emotion and feeling words on the JLPT vocabulary lists with their readings and meanings. The beginner-level entries come with a real sentence.

Which JLPT levels are these words from?

6 from JLPT N5, 20 from JLPT N4, 1 from JLPT N3, 3 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.

How do I learn feelings words on my iPhone Lock Screen?

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.

Is Lock&Learn Japanese free?

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.
