Hooks for a Japanese Vocabulary App

Japanese vocab posts lose people when slide one is a wall of kanji. Teach one word the way it shows up in a sentence they might need.

Hooks

• "The word on the convenience store door, and what to do."
• "How to say 'a little more time' at a restaurant."
• "One particle, one example. Then stop."
• "A word you know from anime that will sound odd in a meeting."
• "Read this station name. Here is the trick for this one only."
• "What to say when you need them to repeat, politely."
• "Katakana loanwords that do not mean what you think."
• "The polite version and the one you should not use with a stranger."

Slide design

The word is large. The reading is under it. The meaning is a situation, not a dictionary dump of six definitions. Audio lives in the app; say that.

Accuracy

Have a native speaker check politeness level. A casual form in the wrong setting is the kind of mistake learners are trying not to make. Your comment section will be full of corrections either way. Better they are confirming you than fixing you.
