Kana Mind: Katakana & Hiragana

Kana Mind is free, has no ads, and no in-app purchases of any kind.

It works an educational game that helps you learn to recognize the symbols used in Katakana and Hiragana (collectively called "Kana"), the first two alphabet styles used in the Japanese language. With this knowledge, youll be able to read aloud and write words in Japanese.

I created Kana Mind for myself, but decided to share it with others. Thats why its a free application.

Kana mind is not a simple matching or flash card game. It uses an intelligent memorization algorithm focused on teaching character combinations, and then measuring the players success in matching each combination. As you progress through the game and learn the alphabets, the symbols become more and more complex.

Kana Mind will also remember how much time youve spent away from the application, and take that into account when testing you. This makes sure you havent forgotten any of the matches you had learned previously.

For those looking to learn Japanese, Kana Mind tracks your progress letting you check your stats at any time. Can you get to the end and reach 100% proficiency in Kana knowledge? And for those who already know Japanese, Kana Minds practice mode is the best way to retain Kana fluency - playing the game once a week is great to keep your memory fresh.

With Kana Mind, you’ll learn both Katakana and Hiragana before you even realize it!

But remember: Kana Mind is not a complete Japanese language course. It will only help you memorize Kana and Japanese romanization in an easy and quick way, and better than any flashcard game. But since it doesnt teach you Japanese grammar or vocabulary, its intended to be used as an aid to an ongoing Japanese course.
