- Learn hiragana and katakana, the two Japanese phonetic alphabets.
- Quick and engaging lessons make learning simple.
- Improve reading speed and accuracy in Challenge Mode.
- Being able to read Japanese quickly will make learning the language easier and more enjoyable.
- Learn: Study hiragana/katakana, one set of characters at a time, learning sound and writing order.
- Practise: Read Japanese and type the sounds you see with the english alphabet to test your understanding.
- Master: Battle the clock in Challenge Mode. Type the words before they disappear off-screen! In order to get a high score you will need to read quickly and accurately.
- The essential Japanese writing system.
- Phonetic: each character represents a syllable.
- All words can be written in hiragana and many textbooks require the ability to read it.
Hiragana is also used in furigana, a reading aid that displays the sounds of kanji characters.
Katakana
Like hiragana, katakana is a phonetic writing system.
These characters are used for foreign words (e.g. アメリカ -> amerika -> America / タクシー -> takushī -> taxi)
Strings like "" or "" can now be answered with only vowels (in this case, iii/ii- or shiiii/shi-i-)
