Japanese Hiragana & Katakana flashcards — questions people ask
- How many cards are in the Japanese Hiragana & Katakana flashcard deck?
- The Japanese Hiragana & Katakana deck on PuzzlePage has 208 cards. The first 30 are free to play and free to download with no account; the remaining 178 unlock for $2.99 as a one-time payment that covers both playing them online and the printable PDF, or with the $11.99-a-month Study Pack, which covers every deck on the site. 208 cards — 104 per syllabary: 46 basic kana, 25 dakuten and handakuten forms, and 33 yōon combinations, printed once in hiragana and once in katakana. That is the whole writing system a first-year course drills, not a padded round number.
- What is on the japanese hiragana & katakana flashcards?
- Both Japanese syllabaries in full: the 46 basic kana, every dakuten and handakuten form and all 33 yōon combinations, in hiragana and katakana, with romaji. Cards look like this: あ → a; い → i. The deck is written for grades 6–12 and filed under world languages.
- Can I study japanese hiragana & katakana flashcards online for free?
- Yes. The first 30 cards of the Japanese Hiragana & Katakana deck play free in any web browser at puzzlepage.app, with no account, no app and no card details. It works on a phone, tablet, Chromebook, laptop or classroom projector. Practice mode flips through the cards with nothing scored; quiz mode makes you answer each card before it flips, times the run and scores it.
- Are the japanese hiragana & katakana flashcards accurate?
- Every card in the Japanese Hiragana & Katakana deck was read and fact-checked by a subject-matter specialist — part of an audit of 5,420 cards across 30 decks that found and fixed real defects, and withdrew one deck entirely rather than ship it with a known problem. That is the difference from a user-generated flashcard site, where the cards are whatever a stranger typed and nobody is accountable for them.
- Can I print the japanese hiragana & katakana flashcards?
- Yes. The Japanese Hiragana & Katakana cards are available as a printable double-sided PDF to cut up, as well as playable in the browser. The first 30 cards are free to download. The full 208-card printable comes with the $2.99 deck unlock — one payment covers both the printable and playing every card online, which bought separately would be $4.28 — and it is included in the $11.99-a-month Study Pack along with every other deck.
- How should I use the Japanese Hiragana & Katakana deck to revise?
- Start in practice mode and go through the Japanese Hiragana & Katakana deck once without scoring, to find out which cards you already know — the deck is dealt in a different order every time you open it, so you are recalling the card rather than its position. Then switch to quiz mode, which times and scores the run and lets you re-run only the cards you missed. Use the "flip deck" control to swap which side is the question: recognising an answer is much easier than producing one, so a deck you find easy one way round is usually the harder and more useful drill the other way. Two or three short sessions across a week beat one long one, which is the whole reason flashcards work.
- What grade level are the japanese hiragana & katakana flashcards for?
- The Japanese Hiragana & Katakana deck is written for grades 6–12. Because the cards are plain term-and-answer pairs, they are also used outside that band — by adults revising world languages, and by teachers running them as a whole-class starter on a projector.
