How to get the most out of this quiz

Short, daily sets

Two 10-question rounds a day beat one long session. Spacing the reps across days is what moves kana into long-term memory.

Type, don't just recognize

Forcing yourself to produce the romaji from the glyph is harder (and stickier) than picking from multiple choice — that's why this quiz uses a text field.

Drill your misses

The end-of-quiz list shows exactly which glyphs you got wrong. Re-run the same script until that list is empty, then switch scripts.

Take it further with structured practice

A quiz is great for review. For real progress, pair it with timed practice modes and a chart you can study with mnemonics for every glyph.
