Katakana Pro

Katakana Pro provides a fun way to learn katakana, one of two syllabaries in the Japanese language. While aimed at beginners, more experienced users can also use Katakana Pro to freshen up their skills.

The goal of the app is to help you become familiarized with the symbols. We accomplish this by introducing only a few symbols at a time, and repeating those randomly until you have identified them enough times. At that point, we will introduce another set of symbols. This process is repeated until you have mastered all the characters.

Many users have reported learning the 46 basic characters in as little as 20-30 minutes. That really is outstanding, and speaks to the teaching ability of the app. But please do not feel any pressure. Take your time and learn at your own pace.

The feedback thus far has been overwhelmingly positive. Here are a few things people have said about Katakana Pro:

★ <b>"A very useful and intuitive memorization tool."</b> <i>- Sean Walsh</i>

★ <b>"It's [a] very helpful app for beginners."</b> <i>- Farhad Hossen</i>

★ <b>"Great way to learn!"</b> <i>- Nina Kemp</i>

★ <b>"Simple and to the point.."</b> <i>- Todd Fitz</i>

We hope that your experience with Katakana Pro is a positive one as well! Good luck on your journey to Japanese mastery!

<b>Next Steps:</b> When you feel confident in your ability to identify the katakana characters, the next step would be to learn how to write them. Though it may not appear to be important, there is actually a correct stroke order in which each character is written. Typically, it is from top-left to bottom-right, but may vary depending on the character. While we do not currently provide stroke order in this app, it is a feature we intend to add later, either directly in Katakana Pro, or in our new app Kana Dojo.</br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br>
