Hi, congratulations on your creation! This comment is long ( heads up I guess) and I tried the game. I actually don’t understand how to play/ use this. Im wondering if somehow I got caught in the middle of it. Some direction would be great. I actually have some Japanese things I would like to be able to read.
I have interest in Japan as I was born there. I came to the us as an infant but my family lived there for 6 years. My dad was a pathologist, his specialty was thyroid cancers. Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivers of that had a huge raise of thyroid cancers. My dad figured out that this was rarely, if ever the cause of death, it wasn’t even a contributing cause. This eventually changed the way we were treating it in the past. At that time the treatment was many thyrodectomies, targeted radiation so very invasive treatments. The medical profession wasn’t to happy at the time but the research he did eventually took hold as more studies. So this saved many children from getting a treatment that was not necessary. So go dad, though I miss you. I wish we could talk! ( he passed over the winter) . He was ready.
Thank you so much for your comment, it was really heartwarming.
When it comes to how to function with the website, I just want to give a brief overview: the Japanese language consists of 3 different types of writing: Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji
Hiragana is about 39% of the Japanese language. However, Japanese is not like english, you don't have a,b,c,d, etc. Instead they use a group of sounds to compose a letter, like:
a, i, u, e, o
ka, ki, ku, ke, ko
ha,hi,hu,he,ho
and etc.
So the website helps you memorize them through flashcards
for example: A → あ and then you'll have a quiz testing your knowledge, and then a final test where you put your learning to use and get to practice reading actual words.
Also, I may be adding a table for the all Hiraganas instead of just flashcards as some people requested it.
