Hiragana NOW!

UnityProjectUIC#

I recently decided to learn a new language and I picked Japanese! I’ve been quite happy with learning via Duolingo, but it didn’t give me enough freedom with how I wanted to learn Hiragana characters, so I spent a few evenings coming up with a system of my own that does exactly what I need:

  • It’s laser-focused on quick repetition - I see a Hiragana character, I type the Romaji for it - that’s it.

  • It’s easy to configure - I can simply click and drag to select all the characters I want to practice.

  • It’s semi-random. Rather than picking characters at random I use a ShuffleBag that I fill with 3 of each selected character, so it’s guaranteed that I see every character 3x before the whole thing loops. (Whereas with true randomness it would be possible to not see certain characters at all during a session)

  • If I get a character wrong, it slips it in a few more times soon after.
