How to use

A simple loop for learning without overloading yourself.

  1. 1
    Pick a script

    Choose Hiragana first if you are starting from zero. Move to Katakana once the basic shapes feel familiar.

  2. 2
    Learn in small groups

    Study one group at a time: main kana, dakuten, then combinations. Avoid mixing everything too early.

  3. 3
    Drill only what you selected

    Before practice starts, choose the exact kana groups you want. Every selected kana appears once per round.

  4. 4
    Increase difficulty gradually

    Use flashcards for first recall, quiz for recognition speed, and typing when you can answer without hints.

  5. 5
    Review weak kana

    Come back to missed or slow kana until they feel instant instead of guessed.
