Welcome to N4
Welcome to Nihongo Drop! Your goal is to type the Romaji spelling of the falling Japanese vocabulary words before they hit the bottom of the screen.
The game starts at JLPT N5 (Beginner) and progresses all the way to JLPT N1 (Advanced). Every time you successfully type 10 words, you will level up, and the falling speed will slightly increase. The vocabulary dynamically matches your current level.
Mistyped words will be added to a review queue and will reappear more frequently to help you memorize them!
