Japanese Verb Conjugation Practice
Drill Japanese verb groups and produce the requested forms from memory before checking the answer.
About the author
Luke McLaughlin created Constructing Language after living in Japan and later learning Mandarin Chinese from scratch. The lessons, games, and guides are built from that first-hand learner experience and checked against native-speaker course work with Hiro for Japanese and Xiang for Mandarin Chinese.
- Lived in Japan and studied Japanese through immersion and structured self-study.
- Learned Mandarin Chinese from scratch as an adult learner.
- Created the Construction Method: audio-first sentence building, grammar graphics, and active recall.
- Built Japanese course material with Hiro and Mandarin course material with Xiang, both native-speaker collaborators.
What this drill trains
The goal is not to recognise a conjugated verb, but to produce it quickly from the dictionary form and requested grammar function.
The recall sequence
Identify the verb group, choose the stem change, produce the form aloud, then check the written answer.
