RecallLoom JLPT N2 Vocabulary — American English Edition

Make more sense of the Japanese you read and hear.

When a word looks familiar but its meaning still slips away, context helps. RecallLoom puts Japanese vocabulary, clear American English meanings, and bilingual examples into a ready-to-import Anki deck, so you can spend more time reviewing and less time making cards.

Built for learners moving through N2-level study, this deck fits alongside your textbook, class, reading, or listening practice. Work from a kana reading, a Japanese word, or an English cue, then reveal the answer and rate your recall.

Go beyond a one-word translation

• See how words are used. Japanese–English examples give you context; related expressions and usage notes add detail where included.
• Practice from different cues. Three card formats help you work on meaning, reading, and recalling the Japanese word.
• Keep your routine simple. One import brings in your vocabulary cards, included word recordings, and a separate English Start Here guide.

Inside your download

Before you buy

You should already be comfortable with kana and have an intermediate Japanese foundation. Anki software is installed or purchased separately. These are reveal-and-rate flashcards, not automatically graded spelling tests; more than one Japanese word can fit an English cue.

Recordings are for vocabulary words, not example-sentence narration. Some entries have no recording, and a multi-reading entry may include audio for only one reading. Audio can play automatically; you can turn off automatic playback in Anki’s deck options. Pitch numbers are retained as reference notes, not as an independently verified pitch-accent course.

This is an independent study resource, not an official JLPT word list or a guarantee of exam coverage. Use it alongside grammar, reading, and listening practice.
