I like it when it works

I like how many practice questions there are. The questions with explanations associated are especially useful.

However, there are far too many technical problems which stop you from using the product you paid for. Sometimes it product stop giving me new problems and only allow reviews. Sometimes it completely stops working for one reason or another. Right now it fails to verify that I am a customer and doesn't allow me to use the product at all.

I like the product when it works, but I am getting tired repeatedly getting denied access for one reason or another. It is an unacceptable number of technical issues that plague this product.

Update: I can confirm that my previous technical issue was solved, but it was recently replaced by a new one. I will update my review if I can experience a couple of months without service breaking issues.

Hi Frederik,

You're right that this wasn't the experience you should have had with a paid JPDrills account.

We investigated the access problem you reported, identified a session issue that could incorrectly limit access during practice, and deployed a fix for it.

I'm sorry you had to deal with the interruptions, and I appreciate you reporting them. If you run into the problem again, please contact me at support and I'll continue from the existing case — you won't need to start over.

Grammar heaven

I have renewed my yearly subscription for JPDrills and I think it was yet again money well spent.

They have tons of quizzes, and when I say tons, I mean 1000+ just for N5 grammar, which is mind boggling. Their grammar explanations are really useful and helpful, not at all dry like in some textbooks (I'm looking at you, Genki). And with nice tidbits of cultural references here and there.

Their customer support is amazing, and by that I mean SSS-tier amazing.

I will continue to use it in my journey to master Japanese language, since it has proven itself to be a very friendly and nice companion.

Hi Ivana,

This reply is overdue, but we wanted to thank you for such a thoughtful review — and especially for renewing your subscription.

We're glad the grammar explanations and the little bits of context around them have been useful. Making practice helpful rather than dry is something we care a lot about, so it means a great deal to hear that reflected in your experience.

And “SSS-tier” support is a standard we'll happily try to keep living up to.

Thank you for continuing to study with JPDrills.

The Best of the Best

This is hands down the number one site that prepares you for jlpt the most efficiently. I love it since I can mine sentences here that are rather challenging grammar wise which helped me so much you won't believe it. Before using it I struggled hard with some grammar like ものの ものを but after using it for a few months (like 2) I now know all the advanced stuff and can currently read rather confidently (though with dictionary) youjo senki (幼女戦記) which is rather challenging as a light novel for people who know ;).

Thank you — hearing that the practice helped you get from struggling with grammar such as ものの and ものを to tackling something as demanding as 幼女戦記 is particularly rewarding.

That's exactly the kind of progression we want JPDrills practice to support: not just getting questions right, but making difficult Japanese feel increasingly usable outside the drills themselves.

Thanks for taking the time to share this.

Thank you, Nicolas. We're glad JPDrills felt easy to get into and that the commentary alongside the exercises was useful.

The explanations are there to make each question teach something without turning a short practice session into a textbook chapter, so it's good to hear that balance worked for you.

Thank you, Alec. We're glad the practice helped you directly work on weaker areas and that the explanations made those questions more useful.

Thanks for choosing JPDrills for your JLPT study.

Relatively unknown, but well done

A small relatively unknown site for Japanese that I was happy to find. I passed the JLPT N5 in 2019, self-study a lot, use anki, memrise, rosetta stone, duolingo (spanish), jpod and admittedly, the site seemed pretty simple at first. But the "mastery" scoring buckets did it for me.

They divide your questions into different difficulty buckets and then let you practice each buckets specifically. I felt like I was improving really fast with this because you can focus on what you get wrong. It's also fun to see your score progressing to 100%. They have a couple of minor mistakes sometimes, but you can flag the question for manual review.

Lastly, they update the site with explanations frequently, payments were no problem, and account support is very friendly and helpful. No complaints so far. For the price, definitely recommend.

Thank you for such a detailed review.

We especially appreciate your point about being able to focus practice on material you're getting wrong rather than simply doing more questions. Helping learners use their practice time deliberately has always been an important part of JPDrills.

And thank you for flagging mistakes when you found them. That kind of feedback genuinely helps improve the question bank for everyone.

Tons of nicely sorted questions

I've been using this site for few weeks already, mostly as grammar review / practice. It's works great for me - there is tons of questions for each grammar point. It wouldn't work in program like 'Anki' where you see same question every few days (its nice if you learn new words, but for grammar it's often about just one of few nuances or aspects).
I'm using it also for N1 vocabulary. It seems like a custom list without 'random' words. Most of them feels like "rare" but not as rare as it would to appear one time in every few books you read.
They also have great support and very fast response time on request / bug reports.

The only two things I feel lack of is missing black theme and better looking things up (it's not problem when using addons like yomichan / rikaichan - so for me it's problem only on mobile devices).

I can recomend it to anyone who want to repeat/learn grammar, prepare for jlpt. it's also good solution, if you often have to spend few minutes waitng for something but not long enough to read anything longer

Thank you, Michał — and thank you for taking the time to give such specific feedback.

We're glad having multiple questions around the same grammar helped you practise the underlying point rather than memorize one repeated sentence. Your comments about mobile lookup and a dark theme were useful feedback as well.

We also appreciate the kind words about support.

Extreme wealth of quizzes!

There's an extreme wealth of Japanese drills and quizzes here, just as described. It's actually pretty amazing for the yearly membership in my opinion! I've had Premium for a few years now, and I haven't looked back since.

集める下さい! You should join!

Great Website and Awesome Customer Service

This is a great and useful website. The people who run the site are incredibly professional and kind as well. I had accidentally purchased two subscriptions for varying amounts of time, and they immediately contacted me about how they noticed it and asked which one I would like to keep. They refunded me the extra subscription right away, and that really impressed me with their honesty. I probably wouldn't have noticed it myself. They've also personally sent me notifications when they've updated practice sections that I've worked on with more questions. I'm really happy with them.

Thank you for sharing this.

Catching the duplicate subscription and fixing it was simply the right thing to do, so we're glad it left a positive impression.

We also really appreciate that you've continued following JPDrills as the practice content has grown.

Always room for improvement

Only reason I give 4 is because I know he is still working on it and If he can make better then it already is, that is a hell of a feat.

Thanks, Matthew. Four stars with room to make the product better is fair.

JPDrills has changed quite a bit since you wrote this, but we still agree with the basic principle: there should always be something worth improving.

Thanks for being there early.
