  • Hiragana Trainer

    October 3rd, 2007

    This application is somewhat obsolete now. It’s still useful for plain hiragana recognition and I won’t take it down, but you might find the Japanese Vocabulary Trainer more interesting

    Instructions: Write the romanization of the phrase above (I got the romanization from here). When you press enter you’ll move on to the next entry if your answer is correct. If you need help click the hint button.

    Bugs: I’m aware of two bugs right now - the blinking cursor doesn’t appear for some reason, and sometimes you’ll get “undefined.” Just refresh the page if you get that error.

    I wrote this trainer application because, while I can recognize the symbols by themselves, I’m having problems recognizing hiragana in words. Don’t expect the words to make sense, all this does is put together 5 kana together at random.

    Hopefully this is useful for others as well. I’ll be updating this as time goes by, and the code can easily be made into a trainer for katakana. The next step is to start building a word database so that it can be a vocabulary trainer as well.

    I’m posting the source files as well. If you make any improvements, please let me know. Please excuse the messy code, I rushed this.
