Dr. Moku's Hiragana & Katakana Flash Cards - Learn The Japanese Alphabet for Beginners

These study cards where so helpful in learning Japanese. Starting with Hiragana, the pictures associated with their name are easy to remember after studying. Next master Katakana and the same process. I learned one Vowel and their row of pronunciation at a time. Print a sheet of both H & K, cut them into small squares and practice to self test yourself at home. Then go to YouTube and take tests to practice. The cards are colorful and sturdy. I'm thankful I purchased them, my stepping stone to understanding Japanese!

I purchased these cards to help study for an adult online Japanese language class that I enrolled in. I thought it would be a gentle introduction to Japanese but I had unknowingly enrolled in an accelerated course! Learning Hiragana quickly was necessary. These cards have been essential in reaching that goal. They are designed simply with just the right amount of information. The vivid colors, creative graphics and mnemonic memory tools on the cards are captivating and linger in your memory without even trying. With purchase of the cards, you also get their app. It's fun and easy to use. I like to use the physical cards best because the tactile aspect helps me to remember better, but using the app helps and is nice to use on the go.

As an adult trying to learn Japanese from scratch I have been struggling. I bought these cards so I can move at my own pace and arrange them and study them as I need to. They are colorful and sturdy and big - no cheap paper junk here! If you read through the beginning cards they tell you to write for a code to unlock the app. App?? Yep, there's an app for your phone (android and apple) that uses all the same graphics and mnemonics as the cards and they send you a code to unlock it. DON'T MISS THIS. The app is great because you can hear the sounds as well as see the characters and there are examples. I'm confident that with the app, supplemented by reviewing these cards that I'm finally going to make progress - I already have in fact. There are two versions of the app - make sure you follow the link they send to get the newest one (much better). Last thing, when you start the exercises and you see the first letter there isn't any "next" button - you have to swipe to continue. Simple once you realize it but frustrating until you do.

These are great! Each card has a simple drawing and short "story" to help remember the character. They are cute and funny and help a lot with the memorization.

I really like these cards but like some of the other reviews have said, they are hard to use to quiz yourself. The mnemonics are of course the main sell of these cards and are very helpful and useful. The cards are about the same height as index card turned vertical and a little wider than that so they are a bit big. This size is useful for making the mnemonics easily understandable. The design of the cards themselves is very nice, my only complaint would be that there is no convenient place to punch a hole into the cards so you can place them on a ring. I use these cards in conjunction with these cards. https://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Hiragana-Katakana-Flash-Cards/dp/4805311673/ref=pd_sbs_21_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=4805311673&pd_rd_r=8097713e-f372-11e8-85b9-e360a19f1fa1&pd_rd_w=jMtKL&pd_rd_wg=J6BHI&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=7d5d9c3c-5e01-44ac-97fd-261afd40b865&pf_rd_r=ARRXYJ6X5JF9VZE5AFRM&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=ARRXYJ6X5JF9VZE5AFRM

This is an awesome product for learning Kana. I have been using it for only a few days and already have learned some of the kana using the mnemonic techniques. The cards are really well made and if you purchase these cards then they also give you a paid version of the app for learning phrases and words (with pronunciation). Awesome product!!!

Great learning tool! The pictures definitely make it easier to remember the letters. Also, customer service is great. I spilled water on my cards, and the company offered to replace them free of charge.

These were a great solution for me to remember all of the different hiragana and katakana symbols, especially since so many look similar. The purchase of the cards also gets you access to the app which is even better for quick learning on the go. Awesome product!
