Learn to recognize hiragana with a free typing quiz. Choose rows, review mistakes, and build recall one small set at a time.

  1. Choose a few rows.

  2. Type the reading in romaji.

  3. Review misses, then add a row.

Build your practice

Start with five vowels. Add a row when you can recall it without looking.

A little understanding goes a long way

Make sense of what you’re practicing

01

Recall before speed

Type the reading from memory instead of guessing from choices. A short session with five characters makes it easier to notice what you actually remember.

02

More than the basic 46

Add voiced sounds such as が and ぱ, then combinations such as きゃ. Small ゃ, ゅ and ょ combine with an i-row sound; they are not separate full-sized syllables.

03

Accepted spellings

Hepburn readings such as shi, chi and tsu are shown. Common alternatives such as si, ti and tu are accepted. を accepts wo or o; in sentences the particle is pronounced o.
