Learn Kana with Juri

New: the kana app from the Learn with Juri YouTube channel. Ten lessons per script, stroke-by-stroke writing checks, and reviews timed so you actually remember.

Hiragana and katakana, taught properly — a memory trick for every character, stroke-by-stroke writing practice, and reviews that come back just before you'd forget.

No account. No ads. Works entirely offline.

LEARN Ten short lessons per script, in the same order as the Learn with Juri videos. Every character gets its own card: Juri's memory trick with an illustration, the stroke order as a short clip, and a real word that uses it, with the character picked out so you can spot it.

WRITE Draw each character and the app checks every stroke — the order, the direction and the shape. Three levels: Guided shows you where to start, Trace fades the help away, and Free gives you a blank square. A clean run in Free counts towards mastery.

QUIZ Reading, listening, mixed, and a 60-second speed round. The wrong answers are drawn from the characters that genuinely look alike — さ and ち, シ and ツ — so you have to look properly instead of half-recognising a shape.

REVISE Everything you study joins a review list, timed so each character comes back just before you'd forget it. You type the answer rather than marking yourself, because "I knew that" after seeing the answer is how people fool themselves.

EXTRA SOUNDS The voiced, p- and combination sounds too — が, ぱ, きゃ — everything else you need to read Japanese.

ALSO • All 92 characters, hiragana and katakana • Pronunciation for every character and example word • Gojūon chart — tap to hear, hold to open • Favourites, for the ones that keep catching you out • A daily streak, if that helps you turn up
