Japanese Learning Apps: Kata-touch and Hira-touch

Build hiragana and katakana recognition with these two fun game apps for beginners. The sooner a student stops using Romaji (English characters) and starts using Hiragana and Katakana, the better. This is a great way to bridge the gap between the two. The basic idea is to match up the romaji with its corresponding kana in practice mode or timed, speed trials. Drill all 46 characters at once or practice in sets of 5.

Awesome apps for building character recognition.

Who should get them: Beginners learning hiragana & katakana.
