Cloze Maker for Japanese and Korean
Turn any passage into a fill-in-the-blank worksheet, inside the document you are already working in.
Why this one
Most cloze tools split words on spaces. Japanese has none, so they either fail or cut words in half. This one runs proper morphological analysis, so 日本語教育 stays whole and 座った is recognised as a form of 座る. Korean is split at 어절 level.
Choose which words
- Any word worth learning. Particles and auxiliaries are left alone, because a gap on は teaches nothing in a vocabulary exercise.
- One type of word. Particles, verbs, nouns, adjectives or adverbs. A particle drill and a vocabulary drill are different lessons.
Choose how many
- Evenly spaced. One in every 1 to 10.
- Scattered. The same number of gaps, in unpredictable places, so a class cannot work out the rhythm and stop reading.
- All of them.
The two choices combine, so every second particle and all the verbs, scattered are both a click away.
Details that matter
- Compounds are kept whole. 操作 + する + こと becomes one gap, not three.
- Punctuation, line breaks and paragraphs survive exactly as they were.
- Your original text is never altered. The worksheet is added at the end.
- Works in English and other languages written with spaces, too.
What it costs
The free plan covers 300 words at a time and 10 worksheets a month.
A note on difficulty levels
No official vocabulary list exists for the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test. The organisers stopped publishing test content specifications in 2010.
Where this add-on marks words as above or below a level, those levels come from a publicly available list by Jonathan Waller, used under a Creative Commons Attribution licence. They are an informed estimate, not an official standard. We are not affiliated with the test organisers.
Your text
For Japanese and Korean the passage is sent to our word segmentation service, held in memory for the length of the request, and never written down. For English nothing leaves your document at all. The full detail is in the privacy policy.
