About this app

Thinking about learning Japanese?

When I attended Japanese classes, I realized how helpful it was to become familiar with Hiragana and Katakana before moving on to grammar and conversation. Just as reading English is difficult without knowing its alphabet, learning Japanese becomes easier when you can recognize its characters.

If unfamiliar characters have kept you from getting started, try Japanese Study. The app makes it easy to learn Hiragana and Katakana together. With one tap, you can switch from a Hiragana character to its matching Katakana character and back again. See each character, listen to its pronunciation, and practice writing it yourself.

Features

1. Letter study
Explore characters one at a time. Follow the stroke-order guide, listen to the pronunciation, and practice writing on the screen.

2. Row study
Learn characters together in rows following the a, i, u, e, o pattern. Study their order and sounds, then select a character to hear or write it.

3. Kana chart
Browse Hiragana and Katakana, including basic, voiced, and semi-voiced sounds. Tap any character to open its study screen.

4. Practice
Choose Hiragana, Katakana, or both. Check pronunciations with multiple-choice questions, then use writing practice to review what you have learned.

Try studying for 30 minutes a day and build a strong foundation for your next step in Japanese. The more you see, hear, and write the characters, the more familiar they will become.

Ratings and reviews

I am enjoying the drawing feature of this immensely!! I am actually learning proper strokes and writing in legible hiragana and katakana!! And it's really helping me memorize the basic "alphabet" and proper pronunciation! Well done, easy to use, simple design makes it easy to focus and study one thing at a time. Only wish there was a way to play with sentence strings and learn the many different meanings of each combination. Highly recommend overall!

Really useful for beginners. Since it has the writing option and all, its really really, good for memorising. Also, to memorise or learn any language at all, you have to be consistent and never break your streaks. Thats all there is to it.

It teaches you both and you can choose to study both at the same time or do them separately. You can also write each character with or without a guide, and reference an entire chart of both with I like to use when trying to read hiragana out of native sentences. Great APP ❤
