JapaneseClass.jp website
A website with loads of vocabulary exercises to help you practice while having fun. I used to do these vocab games every morning while taking my breakfast, for 6 months straight!
Kanji Tree app
The only app I ever used to practice my japanese characters - especially the recognition and reading games.
Satori Reader app
Interactive reading practice app. To put it simply, it is thanks to this app that I could start reading in japanese. I read all the main stories that were in the catalog in 2019!
Todai - Easy Japanese
The primary purpose of this app is to help learners read the news in japanese, but I solely used it to test myself on whether I had reached the different levels of the JLPT, thanks to their catalog of mock tests.
Bunpo app
Simply the best app out there designed to help you learn and revise japanese grammar. While it does not claim to be comprehensive, going through the materials can greatly ease your way into a new level through grammar points.
