Kanakana: Learn Kana

Kanakana teaches the 46 hiragana and 46 katakana, one calm character at a time. BY EYE Each kana stands large on a practice sheet, beside the kanji it came from: あ from 安, ア from 阿. The sheet shows each kana as it is written by hand, with its はね and はらい, so you learn the real shape. BY EAR Tap any kana to hear it, in one clear Japanese voice. あ and ア are the same sound, so they share a recording. Romaji is there when you want it and can be hidden. BY HAND Write each kana stroke by stroke, in KanjiVG stroke order: trace a faint model, then only the numbered starting dots, then a blank sheet. Kanakana checks where each stroke starts, which way it goes and where it ends, never how neat it is. A wrong stroke simply fades. Write it from memory and it earns its 正.
