Life&Culture

You can practice Japanese in order to achieve various "Can-do" (things one is able to do using Japanese) goals based on the JF Standard.

On MARUGOTO-NO-KOTOBA, you can search for vocabulary, create a quiz from your word list and you can see all the words of a certain theme as a collection as well. You are able to print them out too.

BONUS☆にほんご YATTETTE is a site where you can find example sentences for sending emails in Japanese, talking to your friends about your hobbies, and using in your daily life. When you want to try out some Japanese, look for the Can-do point that resembles the setting you want. There are lots of vocabulary words and phrases, example sentence patterns in many different situations, so you may find an example sentence that comes in handy.

This site has a smartphone version, too.
