The N3 vocabulary you need for the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test — 150 words, each with its reading, a natural example sentence, and an English gloss. Every card can be read aloud in a native voice, and you can practise saying it back.

N3 is the third level of the JLPT, so this pack is pitched exactly at that stage. Instead of grinding a deck, a word finds you as a notification; one tap reveals the reading and meaning. A little, often — until it’s yours. It unlocks with the Intermediate Japanese bundle — a one-time purchase, no subscription.
