Read a real book in the language you are learning. Tap any word you do not know and it becomes a card — translation, example sentence, native pronunciation, a picture — and it comes back to you before you forget it.
Kotoba Dōjō is a place you build, not a progress bar you chase. Twenty words a day, a dojo that remembers every day you showed up, and a story that unlocks as you climb.
READ WHAT YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO READ
Bring your own books — EPUB, PDF, FB2, DOCX, plain text — or open one from the shelf. The reader binds the text into chapters, marks the words you already know, and turns any tap into a card. Graded stories sit beside the real thing for the days you want an easier page.
CARDS THAT BUILD THEMSELVES
Meet a word anywhere in the app — a book, a lesson, a song, a video — and one tap keeps it. Illustrations are drawn for you, example sentences are written for you, pronunciation is there without you recording anything. No evenings lost to making decks before you are allowed to start learning.
IT COMES BACK BEFORE YOU FORGET
Every card returns on a schedule that watches how you actually remember. Answer easily and it retreats for weeks; hesitate and it is back tomorrow. A daily limit on new words keeps an ambitious Saturday from burying you on Tuesday.
NINE WAYS TO DRILL A STUBBORN WORD
Flashcards, match pairs, choose the image, cloze, build the sentence, name the image, describe the image, listen and dictate, shadowing. Pick one and train, or let the daily session mix them.
A DOJO THAT REMEMBERS
Your dojo is somewhere you build. Train and it fills — a samurai you equip, lanterns, a garden that keeps the days you showed up. Levels come slowly enough to mean something, and Takeshi's Tale runs alongside your training: authored chapters that stay sealed until you reach the level that opens them.
STREAKS THAT FORGIVE
Miss a day and a pause stone covers it, so one bad week does not erase a good month. Nothing here is built to punish you for having a life.
BRING WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE
Import an Anki collection and keep your history. Add allies and keep each other going, send a deck straight to a friend, publish one you are proud of.
LANGUAGES
Spanish, Japanese, German, French, Italian, Polish, Russian and English — learn any of them from any of them. Start with the shelf or build your own.
