## What is KikiTore?

KikiTore — Train Your Ear for Japanese

  Understanding is the real skill. With natural human voice, drill kana, vocabulary, numbers, times and dates until they click instantly.
  Hear it, then type it, pick it, or answer it — a few minutes a day and your ear gets sharper fast.

  【What you'll practice】
  ・Kana: tap to hear each sound + spelling quizzes (hiragana / katakana, three levels)
  ・Numbers: from 1–10 up to 1–10,000, across four difficulty tiers
  ・Time: hours & minutes, weekdays, dates, and month + day
  ・Situational vocab: colors, seasons, directions, ramen, izakaya, sushi, convenience store… from daily life to travel
  ・Conversation listening: hear a full dialogue and answer comprehension questions, plus "paraphrase" and "quick response" modes

  【Challenge Mode — new】
  ・Endless Challenge: a number-listening survival run — one miss and it's over. How long can you last?
  ・Daily Challenge: the same set worldwide, with your own "Certificate of Listening," sound effects and animations

  【Thoughtful touches】
  ・Natural, crystal-clear human voice (VOICEVOX)
  ・Special readings handled correctly: 4時 = よじ, 1日 = ついたち, 20日 = はつか
  ・Wrong answers reveal the correct one; replay and review your misses
  ・Practice stats, daily streaks and a word of the day keep you coming back
  ・Word meanings in Traditional Chinese / English / Japanese / Korean; UI in all four
  ・Light and dark mode

  Whether you're a beginner, prepping for the JLPT, or pushing your listening further — KikiTore helps you truly understand Japanese in
  conversation, travel and exams.
