Tobira Study Resources is a website that offers a vast collection of exercises for practicing what is taught in Tobira: Gateway to Advanced Japanese. Much like Genki Study Resources, this was created to help aid those self-studying with Tobira, and if you've used its predecessor you should feel right at home! Choose one of the links below to begin testing the Japanese you've learned in Tobira!

If you're using the offline version you'll have to unzip the files. Once you've done that, you can access all the study resources by opening any of the index.html files in the browser of your choice. It should have the same experience as the online version, however, whenever new exercises/lessons are added they will not be available; you'll have to download the latest version of the repository to get them.
