I’ve finally decided to start speaking Japanese more often. Not just a word here and there, but I’ve been trying to put together sentences with my limited grammar knowledge.

It’s hard for me to hear the intonation in lessons a good amount of the time. Does anyone use any user scripts that shows the intonation in vocabulary lessons? Or something similar to that? Any other tools or suggestions are welcome, too

Hey,

if you want to get started on intonation this is the userscript I use: [[Userscript] WaniKani Pitch Info](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-wanikani-pitch-info/18745)

I would also recommend checking out [Dogen](https://www.youtube.com/@Dogen) on youtube, if you didn’t already do so.

Thanks, I’ll definitely check out Dogen.  
It probably would have been helpful if I knew earlier you can really only use userscripts on a computer. 😅 I’ll try to get on there sometime and use the userscript.

on iOS at least, the かけはし app allows you to do wk reviews/lessons and displays pitch accent information too. likely also something for android out there

Smouldering Durtles is probably the best app on Android out there and also supports pitch and audio, even offline/downloaded. Only thing I feel missing are the visuals for the radicals which make a big difference for me personally the first time and everytime I need to look it up and the upload is sometimes a bit slow/background tasks often don’t work properly even though I activated it and allowed background battery usage.

Also regarding pitch training, I had a class last semester in Tokyo during my japanese classes at Waseda where they recommended those two websites specifically;

> **[日本語の音　聞き取りクイズ](https://jphedu.com/)**
>
> 日本語を学ぶ人のための「音韻習得における聴取の研究」をするためのWebサイトです

> **[Special moras | Practice 1 | JP-lab](https://www.jp-lab.com/en/special-moras-practice1)**

I personally found [kotu.io](http://kotu.io) probably the best to practice hearing it, but I am also incredibly horrible at recognizing it and only slowly got better at it over the semester, but stopped practising it recently as well due to lack of time and interest.

I’ll definitely check these out, Smouldering Durtles and the websites. Thank you so much!
