I'm a native English speaker learning Japanese and I have accepted that it will take me a long time. This game keeps me sharp on all the Kana and it's so fun and relaxing. I love it!

Great game to learn Japanese characters, i tried learning on Duolingo for months but could never get it, until the other day i started you can kana, and was able to learn all of hiragana in less than 2 days. im still to start katakana yet. but I'm letting hiragana set in 1st. (i wish there were ways to mix and match the palette's and not just be stuck with one or the other)

[h2] TL;DR [/h2] This game is a type racer memory game that forces you to learn a specific symbol's romaji equivalent. I think that's valuable because it will enable me to begin learning words by reading manga so overall I recommend the game. There's no quick way to learn this, at some point you just have to roll up your sleeves and get to work. This game helps in that it is just a tool that fire hoses these symbols down your throat. [h3] What The Game Does [/h3] I haven't used the Katakana or JLPT sections but based off the Hiragana section you will learn the symbols and their romaji equivalent. The game itself is essentially 4 parts; 1. Symbol introduction. 2. Quiz/review. and 3. A type racer test that combines the newly learned symbols and some of the previous ones. The 4th part is an overall type racer challenge that effectively lets you review the entirety of what you've learned. [h3] Before You Start Using This Program [/h3] This should not be your only source for learning hiragana/katakana and is not something I would recommend starting off with. Print out some hiragana/katakana worksheets and practice writing the symbols while saying them out loud. Try to mimic…
