Study Hiragana and Katakana

Practice your hiragana and katakana recognition skills here. You can focus on just the main character set or include additional variations using the toggles in the "Settings" menu. Note that some characters (like ヴ) and contracted sounds (like ドゥ) are not included in this tool.

Study tips:

• Consistent practice is key! Set aside 5-10 minutes each day, and you'll be surprised how quickly you master all the kana.
• As you practice, pronounce each character either mentally or out loud to strengthen your connection between the written form and its sound.
• Using a mobile device? The "I know it" and "I don't know" buttons make it easy to track your progress without typing. Remember - honesty with yourself leads to the best learning outcomes.
