- Learn hiragana and katakana, the two Japanese phonetic alphabets.
- Quick and engaging lessons make learning simple.
- Improve reading speed and accuracy in Challenge Mode.
- Being able to read Japanese quickly will make learning the language easier and more enjoyable.
- Learn: Study hiragana/katakana, one set of characters at a time, learning sound and writing order.
- Practise: Read Japanese and type the sounds you see with the english alphabet to test your understanding.
- Master: Battle the clock in Challenge Mode. Type the words before they disappear off-screen! In order to get a high score you will need to read quickly and accurately.
- The essential Japanese writing system.
- Phonetic: each character represents a syllable.
- All words can be written in hiragana and many textbooks require the ability to read it.
Hiragana is also used in furigana, a reading aid that displays the sounds of kanji characters.
Katakana
Like hiragana, katakana is a phonetic writing system.
These characters are used for foreign words (e.g. アメリカ -> amerika -> America / タクシー -> takushī -> taxi)
Hi everyone, hope you're all enjoying You Can Kana! It's been a while since the last update, hasn't it? I've been very busy working on a new game, which I'm hoping to announce some time next year. But I still have something new for you all.
To celebrate the Steam Autumn Sale I've updated the game to add a new mode: Training Mode! You can access Training Mode the same way you access Challenge Mode.
In Training Mode, all timers are disabled, and the Cheat Sheet is enabled, so you can look up characters you don't remember. I hope you find it useful for practising the characters if you find Challenge Mode to be a bit overwhelming, or you're just looking to play something more relaxed.
I've also fixed a few translation errors in the game. Specifically, the - (double consonant AND long vowel) structure and - (long dyu) structure in katakana. Thanks to players who pointed these out.
Thanks everyone for playing.
James
