Read the romaji and look at the picture.
Compare the spellings. Check the size of ャュョ and ッ, and every ー.
Tap the one that matches the sound.

FAQ

About this quiz

What does ー mean in katakana?

It's the long-vowel mark: hold the sound before it for an extra beat. ケーキ is keeki (cake), not keki.

How do I read a small ッ?

Pause for one beat before the next sound. In romaji it doubles the next consonant: ベッド is beddo.

Will I get the same questions every time?

No. Each round draws new questions, and your browser remembers which ones you've already seen, so you work through the whole set before anything repeats. Nothing is saved on our side and there's no signup.
