Frequently asked questions
Is Hane better than Bunpro for grammar?
Bunpro has deeper SRS scheduling for grammar review. Hane is better if you want grammar alongside reading, kanji, and vocabulary in one iOS app with games.
Can I use both Bunpro and Hane?
Yes. Many learners use Bunpro for grammar SRS and Hane for reading, kanji, and vocabulary practice. The combination works well.
Does Hane cover all JLPT grammar?
Yes, from N5 to N1. Grammar lessons include formation, meaning, examples, nuance, and common mistakes for each point.
Does Hane have grammar SRS?
Hane uses active recall games for grammar practice, but does not have the same detailed SRS scheduling as Bunpro. It is designed for short daily sessions rather than precise interval management.
