Build Japanese vocabulary through games, sentences, and kanji links.
Hane teaches vocabulary in context: Word Finder games, sentence breakdowns into individual words, and detail pages that connect each word to its kanji, readings, and example sentences.
Free during the public beta on Apple TestFlight.
Words in context, not isolated lists
Memorizing vocabulary from a list leads to fast forgetting. Hane teaches words inside sentences, so you see grammar patterns, particle usage, and natural collocations at the same time. Each word links to its kanji components and related vocabulary.
Word Finder: active vocabulary practice
Word Finder is a game that shows a Japanese sentence with one word missing. You pick or build the correct word from context. This forces you to understand meaning, not just match a card.
