I have two kids (6 and 7) that are learning Japanese at school. I'm also learning Japanese so I can help them with homework. My job is making kids educational games, but in my own time (to help out my kids) I made a game to help them remember Hiragana and Katakana. I've put it online so anyone can use it, and will be adding more games as we go along. Kana Bento - Hiragana game Hope you find it useful.

Hi everyone, I just finished another Hiragana/Katakana study app for Android. I hope that people of all skill levels can find this app useful. Instead of going into detail about the features, I will let the following screenshots do the talking: You can download Kana Dojo for free on Google Play or, to show your support for the developer, you can purchase the app for $0.99 on the Amazon App Store. Google Play (Free) Kana Dojo: Hiragana & Katakana - Android Apps on Google Play Amazon App Store ($0.99) Kana Dojo: Hiragana & Katakana - Amazon Appstore for Android Thanks for checking out the app. I hope you find it useful, and please feel free to post your suggestions and feedback. Depending on how well the app is received, I may add additional features like stroke order, voice recordings of pronunciations, and more games!

Hey guys Haven't been posting much lately! Been super busy making a Comprehensive Japanese Hiragana & Katakana course! Just launched it recently and already have over 1000 students from all over the world (78 different countries! sorry it's really exciting for me! :D)! So I wanted to invite people from my favorite linguistics forum as well! Together with my friend (native speaker), we've made a full blown course with about 5 hours of content, teaching both Hiragana and Katakana and some Kanji as well! You'll be getting the exact instructions on how to write the characters PLUS practice sheets you can print out and use for your practice (Riko-chan, the native speaker prepared those, she used to do calligraphy so they came out really well!) Also over 300 vocab building words are included so you can practice the characters in context! When I was doing research for this course I encountered some really interesting stuff about how Hiragana and Katakana came to be, stuff you won't find in textbooks! I made a video about it: http://www.richardheiney.com/digging-out-the-dirt-the-secret-history-of-japanese-writing/ You'll find more info about the course there, as well as a discount coupon ! Please note that the coupons are limited so don't wait around if you're interested! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! Richard
