Being able to read and understand time expressions in Japanese is crucial for daily conversation, scheduling, and understanding schedules and timetables.

Use this quiz to practice converting time expressions into their Japanese readings. You can type answers in either romaji (romanized Japanese) or hiragana (ひらがな) for maximum flexibility.

• • Practice daily! Set aside 5-10 minutes each day to study, and you'll quickly master Japanese time expressions.
• • Start with simple times (like 1:00, 2:00) then gradually move to more complex times with minutes.
• • Say the times out loud as you type - this reinforces memory through sound and pronunciation practice.
• • Practice both romaji and hiragana input to improve reading fluency and character recognition.
• • Focus on irregular pronunciations like "yo-ji" for 4 o'clock, "shichi-ji" for 7 o'clock, and "ku-ji" for 9 o'clock.
