## What is japolabo kana?

【 Simple and easy to understand Japanese syllabary 】
Not only for Japanese language learners, but also Japanese-speaking children.

Let's learn Hiragana and Katakana with native pronunciation and the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)!
Ideal for learning Rōma-ji (romanization of Japanese), too!

1) Let's listen to the recording by a native speaker*, by clicking the following points!
- letter tiles (Kana)
- the start of a consonant column
- the start of a vowel line
(* More voices will be added in a later update.)


2) Using a small feature "hide and seek" (buttons at the bottom left), let's memorize Hiragana, Katakana, Rōma-ji (romanization of Japanese) and IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet).

3) The Kana part (Hiragana/Katakana) uses a text font used in pedagogy, which does not confuse the learner.

4) To "Zoom in on the iPhone screen : Set up Zoom / Use Zoom" : https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/zoom-iph3e2e367e/ios

F.A.Q. :
- Does your app access any paid content or services?
==> No, not at all. Sure, I put the URL to my site on this app, but it's only strings. It does not contain a hyperlink. Namely, one cannot click.

- What are the paid content or services?
==> No, not at all on this iOS APP. Sure, there is Japanese lessons (and computer lessons) in my site web. But there is no access any paid content or services on this app.

- Do individual customers pay for the content or services?
==> Only, if there is anyone who would like to take the course / coaching. But only in my site web. In other words, there is "no access" any paid content or services in this app.

- If no, does a company or organization pay for the content or services?
(No, not at all. Not only on this app but also in my site web.)

- Where do they pay, and what's the payment method?
==> Primarily, there is "no access" any paid content or services in this app.
Secondly, only in my site web, if there is anyone who would like to take the course / coaching. (In the second case only, the payment method is by Paypal.)

- If users create an account to use your app, are there fees involved?
The user does not need to create an account to use this app.

- How do users obtain an account?
The user does not need to create an account either on this app.
By the way, when there are limited pages on my website, it's just a maintenance page or a page intended for learners through my site. It does not influence the use of this app.
