English Word Drill covers all 7 levels of the Japanese English proficiency exam (Eiken) — Level 1, Pre-1, Level 2, Pre-2, Level 3, Level 4, and Level 5 — with a total of 14,000 essential vocabulary words. Multiple-choice quizzes with shuffled answer choices build real recognition skills. Text-to-speech audio on every word and example sentence trains your ear alongside your memory. Words you miss come back until you get them right twice in a row.
Level 1, Pre-1, Level 2, Pre-2, Level 3, Level 4, and Level 5 are all covered. Select your target level and study only the words you need.
Four answer choices appear for every word, shuffled every time. No position-based memorization — just genuine vocabulary recognition that holds up on test day.
Tap the speaker icon on any word or example sentence to hear native-accent pronunciation. Train your listening and speaking alongside your reading vocabulary.
Words you answer incorrectly are re-inserted into the quiz queue and come back again. You need two consecutive correct answers before a word is retired — no glossing over weak spots.
The home screen shows buttons for all seven Eiken levels. Tap your target level and the quiz begins immediately with only the words from that level, drawn in a randomized order. No account, no setup — just select and start learning.
Each question shows an English word and four Japanese meaning options. The choices are shuffled on every attempt, so you can't rely on position or order to guess. After answering, a large ⭕️ or ❌ tells you immediately whether you were right, and the correct answer is highlighted in green.
Once you submit your answer, an example sentence in English and its Japanese translation appear below. Tap the speaker icons on the target word or the example sentence to hear them read aloud with natural pronunciation. Seeing a word in context — and hearing it — makes it stick far longer than a definition alone.
Any word you answer incorrectly is shuffled back into the queue at a randomized position, so it reappears shortly. You must answer it correctly twice in a row before it is retired from the session. Incorrect words are also logged to UserDefaults so your weak-word history is preserved across sessions.
Tap the level you are studying for — from Level 5 up to Level 1. The quiz loads instantly with all the essential words for that level in a randomized order.
Select the correct Japanese meaning from four shuffled choices. After answering, the result is shown clearly and an example sentence with audio appears so you can learn the word in context.
Words you miss come back automatically. Only when you answer a word correctly twice in a row does it leave the queue. Work through the full set and every word will be genuinely learned, not just seen once.
"I have been using this every day while studying for Eiken Pre-1. The quiz format keeps it engaging and the repeat logic is clever — words I keep getting wrong just keep coming back until I finally know them."
"I use this with my child for Eiken prep. The text-to-speech feature is great because they learn the correct pronunciation at the same time as the meaning. The example sentences help too — it is more than just flashcards."
"I am retaking Eiken Level 2 as an adult. The app is simple enough to use on my commute without thinking about it. And since all seven levels are included, I can move straight to Pre-1 prep once I pass."
