Read the Kana
See a hiragana letter and pick its sound. Hear it after every answer.
See a picture and its romaji, then build the word from hiragana tiles.
A quick warm-up: 5 questions. New questions every time, until you've seen them all.
Writing is where hiragana really sticks. In the workbook you write the word by hand. Here you build it by tapping tiles in the right order, so it works on any phone without a Japanese keyboard. A few decoy tiles keep you honest.
Try these in your head first, then open each one for the answer.
あさ
はな
やま
