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.
PLAY KANA INVADERS!

News From The Other Side taught me an interesting way to learn Hiragana and Katakana using the application Kanatap .
Hiragana and Katakana are the two basic phonetic scripts used in Japanese which beginners should tackle to start being able to read the language.
Rob found Kanatap through his studies of Hangul which could also inform people how to learn the basic phonetic scripts of Hiragana and Katakana.
Other methods include using Anki and also watching youtube videos with basic vocabulary lessons on Japanese.
We hope you enjoy the podcast.
