Parley serves AI-curated passages tuned to your exact JLPT level. Read real content, tap words to look them up, and let spaced repetition do the rest — no textbooks, no drilling in isolation.
Why Parley
Built around how you actually read
Reading-first
Every session starts with a short passage — news, history, culture, business — chosen to match your JLPT level. Words land in context, making them stick.
Smart repetition
Vocabulary you tap during reading flows into an FSRS-powered review queue. The algorithm schedules each word at exactly the right moment — not too soon, not too late.
JLPT-aligned
Pick your exam target from N5 to N1. Passages and vocabulary lists stay inside your band — then nudge you outward as you improve.
Audio + shadowing
Every passage comes with natural TTS audio. Listen through once, then shadow sentence-by-sentence to build listening speed and output confidence.
Progress you can see
Streak tracking, daily goal bars, vocabulary growth charts, and per-level completion stats keep motivation high across weeks and months.
20 min is enough
One or two passages plus a short drill session is all it takes each day. Parley is designed for consistency, not marathon cramming sessions.
Getting started
Up and reading in three steps
Set your level and topics
Tell Parley your current JLPT level (or take a quick placement test) and choose the topic domains you care about — tech, history, culture, and more.
Read a curated passage
An AI-generated passage lands in your session each day, calibrated to your level. Tap any word for furigana, meaning, and example sentences.
Review, rinse, repeat
Words you looked up appear in your drill queue on the right day. Answer, grade yourself, and watch your vocabulary compound over time.

What people are saying
“I've tried every app out there. Parley is the first one that actually feels like reading — not like studying. My N2 vocabulary has grown faster in two months than in the previous year.”
“The spaced repetition is seamlessly connected to what I just read. I'm not drilling random words — I'm reviewing vocabulary I encountered in context. That makes all the difference for retention.”
“I commute 30 minutes each way. Parley turns that dead time into a productive reading session. The passage lengths are perfect — exactly one session, start to finish.”
