How to use

Kana refers to the two syllabic writing systems used in Japanese: Hiragana and Katakana.

There is no right way to use the Kana Quiz, you can use it how ever you want. You will be shown a character, which you will have to type in romaji.

If you are a beginner, you might want to start by choosing the first two groups (a -> ko) of hiragana. Once you have learned them with a 100% success rate, add in one or two more groups. Aim for the perfection - you want to be answering in less than one second. In the beginning you most likely cannot know the answers, so just enter false answers and it'll tell you what the correct answer was.

If you want to use this tool offline, right click here and choose "Save Target As..." - or left click it to practice full screen!

I like it, cause I don't need to ask people to ask me hiragana anymore :) I'll see how it'll go with katakana, cause I don't know ANYTHING yet... And I should know it for tomorrow :P

addictive=D i can practice like 30 minute games with this and learning so much!! playing it on fast speed can be intense... maybe there could be some kind of a "final exam" where you could test your skills? and limit for errors?
