Language Preparation
Track all your Japanese practice in one place.
Progress across kana, vocabulary, workplace phrases, signs, kanji, reading passages, and JFT practice — consolidated into a single language readiness score.
Language is a visa requirement
SSW visa applicants must pass either the JFT-Basic (A2 level practical Japanese) or JLPT N4. Most tracks accept JFT-Basic — but JLPT N4 opens more pathways and is more broadly recognized by employers.
Nine tools, one score
This hub aggregates your progress across kana recognition, vocabulary, workplace phrases, signs, kanji, numbers, sentence building, reading passages, and JFT practice into a single language readiness percentage — so you can see the full picture without switching between tools.
Language protects you on the job
Being able to read safety signs, understand shift schedules, and respond to workplace instructions is not just a test requirement — it reduces injury risk and helps you identify when your rights are being violated before it becomes a bigger problem.
