A full sentence Japanese trainer using Anki/Bunpro/CSV
Hey there! I built a local desktop/browser app for Japanese sentence practice. This has you actually assemble sentences yourself for grading.
I made it because Anki’s {{type:}} requires a perfect answer, and filling in gaps on Bunpro isn’t enough for me to start feeling confident about assembling sentences myself. This has helped me a lot. I hope it can help you too!
It imports sentences from Anki via AnkiConnect, Bunpro, or CSV, shows the English prompt, and asks you to type the Japanese. It then uses an LLM provider or local OpenAI-compatible model to grade the answer as correct/close/incorrect, provide personalised English or Japanese feedback, and schedule missed sentences for retry. A correct answer doesn’t have to match the Japanese answer character for character, meaning that you can express the sentence in your own way so long as the meaning holds up and the grammar/vocab are solid.
The app runs locally in your browser. API keys for LLM providers as well as imported sentence caches stay in the app folder.
