About these Kanji memory exercises
A flip-card memory game for the kanji introduced in the Past Tense lesson. Turning review into a game keeps you coming back, and matching each kanji with its readings reinforces both shape and sound.
Frequently asked questions
Are these Japanese grammar exercises free?
Yes. Every Kanji memory drill for the Past Tense lesson is free and runs right in your browser — no account, no download, no app required.
Do I need to finish the lesson first?
It helps. These drills only use grammar and vocabulary from the Past Tense lesson, so reading the lesson first makes them click faster — but you can also use the drills to test what you already know.
How do these drills help me learn?
Actively producing or choosing an answer — instead of just reading — is what moves a grammar pattern into long-term memory. Each exercise gives instant feedback so you learn from mistakes as you go.
