Study methods
MyDeck: Practice each word by looking at the cards and repeatedly saying the conjugated forms aloud.

(2) Tap the sound icon to check whether you said the conjugated form correctly.
(3) Tap the ＊ icon to check the conjugated form in writing.
(4) Study the use of the conjugated form by referring to the example sentence and illustration on the back side of the card.

Check: Test your retention of each conjugated form by typing in your answers.*

Handy features
•Menu
The study selections are grouped together in a single menu to allow you to practice more efficiently.

•List
All conjugation forms of each word are listed in this feature, with the words arranged in a-i-u-e-o order. A check mark is displayed next to each conjugation form that has been mastered and the MyDeck card for each entry can be opened, allowing you to review the conjugations via the list.

•Rule
This feature lists the rules for all 28 conjugation types covered by the app, enabling you to quickly look up the way to form conjugations such as the passive, the causative, the causative passive, and the tricky te-form.
