Read the Kana
See a hiragana letter and pick its sound. Hear it after every answer.
Every question type in one round: letters, missing letters, word building, romaji and small kana.
A quick warm-up: 5 questions. New questions every time, until you've seen them all.
The last page of the workbook's review section, as an endless test. Every question picks a different format, so you can't settle into a rhythm. You'll get letters, gaps, tile words, romaji and small-kana traps, plus dakuten pairs like はと (pigeon) and ぶどう (grapes). Score 20/20 and you can read hiragana.
Try these in your head first, then open each one for the answer.
