Japanese vocabulary for people working in Japan: construction, nursing care, food factories, metalworking, logistics, accounting, IT projects. The words actually used on the job.
You finish the textbooks, start the job and still can't read the work schedule: 玉掛け on a construction site, 申し送り in a nursing home, 異物混入 in a food factory. This topic is built around exactly those words.
Each industry has its own game, because metalworking words don't help a care worker. Words that are easy to misunderstand get an extra line explaining how they differ from look-alikes.
Playable on your phone, a few minutes per round — just right for a lunch break or waiting for the train.
