Summary

If you’re a Japanese learner looking for a resource that’ll help you maintain your proficiency with regular reading and listening practice, we’ve got you covered. 

Yomu Yomu is a graded reading web and app based resource that provides extensive reading practice to all levels of Japanese language learners. The reading content is in the form of articles and stories across different topics.

As you read the articles and stories, you’ll have access to Romaji and Furigana reading aids, a built-in dictionary, and word and sentence translations. Yomu Yomu synchronizes audio with the text, which makes following along much easier. Additionally, the app incorporates an intuitive SRS flashcard system that’ll help you save new or unfamiliar words for later review.

These features allow you to tailor your learning experience to your preferences. You can choose your reading level, enable Furigana and translations, choose between Kana and Romaji or Kanji and Kana, and enable the built-in dictionary with JLPT levels. You can toggle any of these features however you prefer to personalize your learning.

Moreover, Yomu Yomu has a wide range of content and topics, from everyday dialogues to original stories. Lessons are added regularly, and the platform recommends more lessons based on your reading history. Lessons can also be saved for later or downloaded for offline reading, making it possible for you to learn and practice your reading and listening skills from anywhere, anytime. After each reading, you can review all the “new words” and “learned words” encountered from that reading, ensuring you strengthen your Japanese fluency. Furthermore, Yomu Yomu has a progress monitoring feature to help you keep track of what you’ve learned. 

Yomu Yomu’s content library is still being developed, but with close to 500 lessons —and more to come—it’s a great resource to check out. Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or advanced learner, you’ll find articles and stories that’ll cater to your level. You’ll improve your Japanese language skills and be a step closer to reaching fluency.
