Description
Learn Hiragana and Katakana. All 96 Characters. 30 Days.
Kana Challenge teaches you every hiragana and katakana character — not by showing you charts and hoping they stick, but by drilling each one until you answer 50 questions correctly per lesson. By Day 14 you know all hiragana. By Day 21 you know all katakana. That is not a promise; it is the structure of the program.
More Than the Alphabet: Your Japanese Foundation
Most kana apps stop at recognition. Kana Challenge does not. In 30 structured days you also build: • 250+ daily-use vocabulary words, learned in kana (no romaji) • A trained ear from dual male and female native speaker audio • Correct pronunciation muscle memory through native audio shadowing with real-time accuracy scoring • Reading reflexes through speed quiz mode
On Day 31 you move on. To immersion, to kanji, to JLPT prep — whatever is next. This app gets you there, then gets out of your way.
Why Kana Challenge Works When Others Don't
Romaji Weaned, Not Avoided. Kana Challenge shows romaji at the start — then removes it as quickly as possible. You build real character recognition fast, without the confusion of being thrown in cold. By the end of Week 1, most learners no longer need it.
The 50-Correct Rule. Each daily lesson requires 50 correct answers before you advance. Not 5 correct in a row. Not a percentage. 50. That is what builds real muscle memory.
Structured, Not Infinite. 5 characters per day. 15 to 45 minutes. The app tells you exactly what to study and when. You stop wondering what to do next.
Your 30-Day Path Week 1: Hiragana foundations — vowels and the first columns Week 2: Complete hiragana including voiced sounds and combinations Week 3: Full katakana — same sounds, new angular shapes Week 4: Mixed-script reading, speed drills, and JLPT N5 vocabulary
Everything in the App Speaking practice: shadow native speaker audio and get real-time pronunciation accuracy scores, building correct muscle memory for Japanese sounds Dual native audio: male and female speakers on every character and word Speed Quiz Mode to build reading reflexes under time pressure Full hiragana and katakana charts — all 96 characters, always accessible 12-language interface: study from English, Spanish, French, German, and more Offline mode: the full quiz engine works without a connection for ad-free users.
Who Downloads Kana Challenge Absolute beginners who want a clear starting point and a defined finish line. JLPT N5 students who need the alphabet section locked in so they can focus on grammar and kanji. Immersion learners who know they need to read kana before they can start sentence-mining or shadowing. Travelers and fans who want to read station signs, menus, and manga without transliteration.
In 30 days you will know all 96 kana characters. You will have 250+ words and real pronunciation practice. You will be ready for what comes next in Japanese.

Comments on Kana Challenge: Learn Japanese for Android
★★★★★Hatke Hatke· Jan 20, 2026
Wonderful learning modules, helping me to learn Hiragana language
★★★★★Shane's Games· Jan 12, 2026
Haven't tried everything in the app yet, but so far it's working really well for helping memorize hiragana and katakana.
★★★★★Jerrod Farley· Dec 13, 2024
Great place to start as a learner! The Japanese analyzer is really useful and shows a lot of promise.
★★★★★Howard Nguyen· Jan 3, 2026
UPDATE: messaged the developer with my issues and he was exceptionally responsive. He released an update that resolves most of my gripes. Can't say you get that experience with 99.9999% of apps on the Play Store. 11/5 — would purchase again and would definitely look into the other apps made by the same developer. INITIAL REVIEW: Nice looking app UI wise, but the randomness of the quiz is broken. Getting the same character multiple times in a row happens way too often.
