Kana!

Learn Hiragana the Easy Way

Kana helps you learn Japanese hiragana step by step. You start with the basic sounds and work your way toward reading simple words and short sentences. Everything unlocks naturally as you learn, so you always know what to practice next.

How Learning Works

You begin with the five main vowel sounds. Each character becomes marked as learned after you get it right three times in a row. Once you finish a small group of characters, the next group becomes available. The pace is steady and manageable.

Practice Words

After you unlock enough characters, you can start practicing real words. Each word only appears once you already know the characters inside it, so you are never guessing. Words are grouped into small milestones that feel easy to reach.

Build Sentences

As you learn more words, you will unlock simple sentences. These start out very short and slowly grow in complexity. This helps you see how Japanese fits together in a natural way without overwhelming you.

Track Your Progress

You can check your progress anytime. The stats page shows your accuracy, how many characters you have learned, how many words you can read, and which milestones you have completed.
