Kairou Kana

Learn hiragana and katakana by playing. Quick rounds, clear audio, cards to collect. Free, no ads, no account - and the whole family can share one device.

Kairou Kana teaches hiragana and katakana through play. There are no lessons to sit through and no mnemonics to memorize — you answer quick questions, and the characters you miss come back until you know them.

HOW IT WORKS

Characters arrive a few at a time. Each round mixes new ones with review, so you are always building on what you already know. Miss something and it returns sooner; get it right fast and it makes room for the next thing.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Both scripts — hiragana and katakana, including voiced marks and combination sounds • Play — the main drill: see a character, pick its reading • Reading — real words written in kana • Listening — hear a word, pick what you heard • Speed Check — how many can you read in one, two, or five minutes? Beat your best. • Confusable Pairs — ね and れ, シ and ツ: the lookalikes, drilled side by side • Chart — every character at a glance, shaded by how well you know it • Cards — win from a collection of 150 illustrated word cards as you play • Clear audio for every character and word

MADE FOR FAMILIES

One device, any number of players. Everyone picks a name and gets their own progress, streaks, and card collection. Switching takes one tap.
