Challenge Yourself: Test Section

In the testing section (‘TEST’), a total of 16 assessments are available. Users can attempt eight tests per week, with questions rotating weekly. This feature encourages learners to evaluate their retention and understanding of Japanese vocabulary. Upon completion of the tests, participants receive a results certificate bearing their name. Achieving over 80% correct answers grants a pass certificate that includes an illustrative medal.

KOTOBA LIST:

A concise dictionary within the app lists all vocabulary and expressions encountered. Words marked with a check indicate retention, and each entry is presented in both Roman characters and hiragana/katakana, alongside a translation to facilitate understanding of Japanese characters.

STATUS:

Upon each login to the study section, users earn 100 points. Performance in stage tests contributes to this score. The status feature provides users with insights into their overall points, weekly points (calculated from the most recent Monday to Sunday), words memorized, stages completed, and tests successfully passed.

RANKING:

This section displays an overall ranking of all users based on points accrued and stages cleared, alongside individual performance metrics.

HONIGON’S CAMERA:

Upon completion of each stage's test, HONIGON’S CAMERA activates, offering various decorative frames as backgrounds. Users can commemorate their achievements by taking a ‘celebratory photograph’ that combines these frames with a self-portrait.
