Master hiragana and katakana with this interactive quiz. A kana character appears on screen — type the romaji (English reading) to answer. Choose from hiragana only, katakana only, or mixed mode. Your accuracy is tracked so you can see your progress.
Hiragana and katakana are the two basic Japanese alphabets (together called "kana"), each with 46 characters. Hiragana is for native words; katakana is for foreign words and emphasis.
With daily practice, most learners memorize all hiragana in 1-2 weeks and katakana in another 1-2 weeks. 10-15 minutes of daily practice with this trainer is very effective.
Yes! All JLPT levels (including N5) require you to read hiragana and katakana. The test does not use romaji. Mastering kana is the essential first step.
