About KanaPractice - Study Kana
Hiragana and katakana are the foundation of Japanese reading — and KanaPractice teaches you both, one character at a time. Spaced repetition tracks every character individually, showing you what you need to review and when. The more you practice, the smarter it gets. Two ways to practice: - Recognition — see a kana character, type the reading. - Production — see a romaji reading, choose the right character. Both directions are tracked separately, because mastering kana requires both. Word reading Move beyond individual characters. Practice reading real Japanese vocabulary — greetings, common verbs, everyday nouns — written entirely in kana. Four mastery levels Every character has a mastery level based on your history: New, Practicing, Learning, or Mastered. You always know where you stand. Reference charts and dictionary Full hiragana and katakana charts with mastery indicators. A searchable dictionary of 7,000+ kana words. Look anything up, tap to practice it. KanaPractice Pro The free tier covers all of hiragana basics — 46 characters and 200 common words, fully unlocked. Pro adds katakana, voiced and combo kana, the full word library, and deeper stats. No subscription. Pay once, use it forever.
