You Can Kana (tuxdb.com)

▶

Hi everyone, thanks for playing the demo. You Can Kana is due to launch at the end of July and I'd like to share what I've been working on since Steam Next Fest. Please give the game a wishlist if you're enjoying the demo! The demo was a great opportunity to get some feedback on the gameplay and the no. 1 requested feature was the ability to draw the characters. So I've added this functionality to the Learn phase! If you've already completed all of the characters, you can still review the stroke order from the kana tables in the menu. I've also made it possible to reset your save if you just want to work through the characters from scratch, which can be a good way to practise.

Learn. Practise. Master.

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.

Features

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.

Hiragana

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)
