Questions

Which romaji spellings are accepted?
Hepburn (shi, chi, tsu, fu, ji) and the common alternatives: si, ti, tu, hu, zi, sya, jya, nn, and o for を.
Can I test dakuten and combination kana?
Yes. Dakuten (が to ぽ) work in both modes. Combination kana such as きゃ are two characters, so they are in the reading quiz only.
Is the kana quiz free?
Yes. It runs in your browser with no sign-up, and it remembers the rows you chose last time.
