LingQ
A reading platform for imported Japanese. Powerful if you will import. Heavy if you only needed graded news.
IntermediateFreemiumModerateReadingWeb, iPhone, Android
Good fit if
- Learners who will import articles and transcripts
- Intermediate readers leaving graded news
- People who like known-word counts
Look elsewhere if
- You still cannot read kana comfortably
- NHK Easy already covers your daily page
- You will not import anything
LingQ is a reading platform. You import Japanese, tap words, and the software tracks what you have marked as known.
Who it fits
It fits intermediates who already meet Japanese text and want a place to keep it.
Limits
It is not a beginner news site. NHK News Web Easy and Tadoku ask less of you at the start.
