Let's Learn Japanese! Hiragana

while i like the idea of this the execution is rather poor, first when "teaching" you the meaning of the Hiragana (in this case) it should say the pronunciations out loud not just show you them on a screen. Then when you play the games it should have you play at least a couple different ones (and tell you the rules of the game would be nice!) and do more then have you solve something once. I know Hiragana and it was annoying to look at these and go if I didn't know this i wouldn't of learned a thing! Or at the very least have you review the others you already learned in the games as you go! Nice idea but the execution is a little disappointing and could of been done better

Solid way to get started with the language. Only complaint is that I don't feel the match 3 game mode is a good way to memorize new information, which is why those sections are taking me so much longer to get through. Was really discouraged when I had just finished a lesson with match 3 and the next lesson was match 3 again. I said "Noooo!" Would've been great if we could select the game mode we want to use for each lesson...... I'd never select match 3. Other than that I don't have any complaints.

very good and interesting to play and learn. should buy

Great game, easy to learn Hiragana. Got it on sale, worth the money.

The most basic Japanese learning begins with hiragana. The game has no fancy designs or effects but is already sufficient to provide the basics for anyone who is interested in learning Japanese. Each level begins with the introduction of hiragana characters in groups. It will also provide additional advice to avoid confusion if some characters have similarities in strokes with another character. The characters are colour-coded for different categories of pronunciation (e.g., 'no' and 'so', 'sa' and 'ka'). After the description of a group of characters, there will be two practices to be completed before moving to the next lesson. The practices usually come in different methods, but the main purpose is to match the hiragana with romaji (English letters to transliterate Japanese characters). I feel the game has fulfilled its purpose for anyone to learn the hiragana characters. However, if you are looking for something that is more complicated to learn Japanese or a better-quality game, this game is not something that will get you interested in learning Japanese. For example, one of the matching games has a slightly deafening sound when there is more than one matching pair of the hira…

Let's Learn Japanese! Hiragana is an educational title developed and published by Dr. Cyril Splutterworth that takes a focused, gamified approach to teaching one of the most fundamental components of the Japanese writing system: hiragana. Rather than presenting itself as a dense academic tool or textbook replacement, the game positions learning as an interactive, low-pressure experience. Its goal is clear and specific—help players recognize, read, and internalize all standard hiragana characters—and it commits fully to that mission without overcomplicating its structure. The design philosophy behind the game centers on repetition through varied interaction. Instead of relying solely on static flashcards, it introduces hiragana characters gradually through mini-games and simple challenges that reinforce sound-symbol associations. Players are prompted to match characters with their romanized equivalents, identify correct pronunciations, and respond quickly under light time pressure. These activities are intentionally straightforward, ensuring that beginners are not overwhelmed. The learning curve is gentle, allowing new students of Japanese to build familiarity at a comfortable pace…
