We are starting a new newsletter for Learn Japanese Pod with the latest information about the site, links to Japanese learning resources and more. You can sign up to it on the top right of this website.
We’d like to get your opinion on what should go in the newsletter so why not take one minute to tell us with this survey. Thanks for your time and comments!
Learn to read Hiragana and Katakana with our new game Kana Invaders. It’s easy to play. First, chose the type of game, either Hiragana or Katakana. Then select the level of difficulty. Finally try to blast the Kana Invaders by typing the kana displayed. If you are too slow they will land on your head and it’s all game over man.
A huge shout out to Ricardo who made this game and designed this website. Check out his awesomeness at Cataplasma.
As we would like to improve this game, please feel free to leave your comments and feedback here.
