Grammar heaven

I have renewed my yearly subscription for JPDrills and I think it was yet again money well spent.

They have tons of quizzes, and when I say tons, I mean 1000+ just for N5 grammar, which is mind boggling. Their grammar explanations are really useful and helpful, not at all dry like in some textbooks (I'm looking at you, Genki). And with nice tidbits of cultural references here and there.

Their customer support is amazing, and by that I mean SSS-tier amazing.

I will continue to use it in my journey to master Japanese language, since it has proven itself to be a very friendly and nice companion.

I feel like I'm actually improving

Great customer service and very professional. It's easy to get JLPT review and questions these days, but JPDrills gives more than questions to practice.

They give you a mastery grade for each question that tells you what your level of proficiency is. Instead of not caring with practice like in my anki, it actually makes me want to answer correctly so that I can get each question classified as "mastered".

They take these mastered questions and use it to tell you your progress on the practice module which I think is really cool since progress here is defined by skill and not just by practicing a lot.

Other than that, they've got the standard spaced-repetition algorithm that feels good and intuitive with how they repeat and don't repeat questions (not all review tools feel natural), answer explanations that are really helpful for grammar, and some leaderboard like duolingo.

All in all, a simple but great tool that I actually look forward to using.

The Best of the Best

This is hands down the number one site that prepares you for jlpt the most efficiently. I love it since I can mine sentences here that are rather challenging grammar wise which helped me so much you won't believe it. Before using it I struggled hard with some grammar like ものの ものを but after using it for a few months (like 2) I now know all the advanced stuff and can currently read rather confidently (though with dictionary) youjo senki (幼女戦記) which is rather challenging as a light novel for people who know ;).

Relatively unknown, but well done

A small relatively unknown site for Japanese that I was happy to find. I passed the JLPT N5 in 2019, self-study a lot, use anki, memrise, rosetta stone, duolingo (spanish), jpod and admittedly, the site seemed pretty simple at first. But the "mastery" scoring buckets did it for me.

They divide your questions into different difficulty buckets and then let you practice each buckets specifically. I felt like I was improving really fast with this because you can focus on what you get wrong. It's also fun to see your score progressing to 100%. They have a couple of minor mistakes sometimes, but you can flag the question for manual review.

Lastly, they update the site with explanations frequently, payments were no problem, and account support is very friendly and helpful. No complaints so far. For the price, definitely recommend.

Tons of nicely sorted questions

I've been using this site for few weeks already, mostly as grammar review / practice. It's works great for me - there is tons of questions for each grammar point. It wouldn't work in program like 'Anki' where you see same question every few days (its nice if you learn new words, but for grammar it's often about just one of few nuances or aspects).
I'm using it also for N1 vocabulary. It seems like a custom list without 'random' words. Most of them feels like "rare" but not as rare as it would to appear one time in every few books you read.
They also have great support and very fast response time on request / bug reports.

The only two things I feel lack of is missing black theme and better looking things up (it's not problem when using addons like yomichan / rikaichan - so for me it's problem only on mobile devices).

I can recomend it to anyone who want to repeat/learn grammar, prepare for jlpt. it's also good solution, if you often have to spend few minutes waitng for something but not long enough to read anything longer

Extreme wealth of quizzes!

There's an extreme wealth of Japanese drills and quizzes here, just as described. It's actually pretty amazing for the yearly membership in my opinion! I've had Premium for a few years now, and I haven't looked back since.

集める下さい! You should join!

Great Website and Awesome Customer Service

This is a great and useful website. The people who run the site are incredibly professional and kind as well. I had accidentally purchased two subscriptions for varying amounts of time, and they immediately contacted me about how they noticed it and asked which one I would like to keep. They refunded me the extra subscription right away, and that really impressed me with their honesty. I probably wouldn't have noticed it myself. They've also personally sent me notifications when they've updated practice sections that I've worked on with more questions. I'm really happy with them.

Always room for improvement

Only reason I give 4 is because I know he is still working on it and If he can make better then it already is, that is a hell of a feat.
