Japanese Hiragana | efficient - no romaji - no (han)dakuten

The last Hiragana deck you will need. It focuses on efficient learning, minimizing useless repetitions of information that is obvious. There are no romaji characters and you are never prompted for them either; you are learning Japanese - using romaji will hinder your progress.

This deck does not combine Hiragana and Katakana ON PURPOSE. It is not recommended to study them at the same time - you will mix them up. Study either of them first until you feel comfortable and only then start with the other.

(Han)dakuten and Yoon are not included in this deck. The reason for this is that the formation of these characters is so simple and regular there is simply no need in studying them with flashcards. There are much better ways to make use of your time.

This deck has two parts:

1. Hiragana Recognition: You are prompted with the Hiragana character and expected to say its Japanese pronunciation out loud plus write it in the correct stroke order. It is HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED to turn on the whiteboard feature (on touchscreen) so you can practice writing the character. Otherwise write it in your palm or on a piece of paper. There is really no use in studying this without writing the characters in some form. Hitting the answer button gives you the correct pronunciation (try to get as close as possible) and the correct stroke order.

2. Hiragana Comprehension: You are prompted with the pronunciation only (no romaji). You are expected to write the Hiragana character that fits the pronunciation. Again, it is recommended to use the whiteboard feature. Hitting the answer button gives you the character and the correct stroke order.

I hope you will find this deck useful. I created it because no other decks I could find featured this kind of efficient simplicity while at the same time excluding romaji. If you find any bugs, let me know in the comments. Happy studying.
