mKana 1.0 is languages software developed by Zenlearn Interactive.
The Japanese alphabet (hiragana and katakana) can take quite a bit of effort to learn especially if you can only practice during small blocks of time. Very often you will find that you have forgotten the earlier characters that you have learned previously the next time you sit down to practice.

mKana solves this problem, whether you have already learned the whole alphabet or if you have just started learning.

Instructions:

- Use the cursor keys to highlight the same romaji, hiragana, and katakana, then press the Fire button to select the answer
- If the answer is correct, the selected tile will fly up and replace a "?" tile
- If you selected an incorrect answer the appropriate answer for that tile is shown as long as you hold the Fire button
- A hint is given by thickening and changing the color of the border of the correct answer when the timer bar is fully orange.
- The Time Attack mode is like a test, so there are no hints in that mode. Romaji is not tested in the Time Attack mode
- The reference table has 3 modes: Gojuoon, Similar Hiragana, and Similar Katakana. To change the mode, use the cursor key to highlight either romaji, hiragana, or katakana then press the Fire button to set the respective modes
Here are some key features of "mKana":

  • Covers all 71 single character hiragana and katakana
  • Practice mode lets you play a tile matching game to practice romaji, hiragana, and katakana all at once!
  • Never get stuck during learning! The Hint System prompts you the correct answer when the timer runs out.
  • Automatic saving of your progress whenever you exit mKana
  • Difficulty is automatically adjusted based on how well you do. Take your time to learn the Japanese alphabet at your own pace!
