Kana Practice Lab helps beginners build the first foundation for learning Japanese: Hiragana, Katakana, sounds, writing, simple examples, and review. Start with the kana basics, open clear Hiragana and Katakana charts, practice selected rows, and use handwriting practice to reinforce each character. Local progress and review help you return to kana that need more attention. What you can do in this first release: - Learn Hiragana and Katakana as the core path - Use kana charts to find and select practice sets - Practice writing characters by hand - Review weak kana with local practice data - Keep your learning flow simple: Learn, Practice, Me Kana Practice Lab is designed for the beginner loop behind Japanese basics: recognize the sound, learn the shape, write the kana, see short examples, and check yourself with quick practice. This release focuses on the Kana-first foundation; Kanji is preview-only, and the app does not require an account, subscription, or cloud sync.
