About This Project

Romaji2Kanji is a user-friendly web app designed to help Japanese language learners practice writing Hiragana and Katakana symbols. Its interactive exercises make learning Japanese symbols easier and more enjoyable, whenever it's transforming symbols to their romanian representation or vice versa.

To access the application, visit here.

Why This Project Exists

The idea for Romaji2Kanji arose from my personal need for an effective tool to practice writing Japanese symbols. As a Japanese language learner, I encountered a lack of resources for this aspect of learning. This project was created to address this gap and provide a learning tool for students like myself who want to improve their proficiency in Japanese reading and writing.

Features

• Keyboard Support: On-screen keyboard for easy input.

  

• Interactive Learning: Practice converting between kana and romaji, see tips on every sound of the word.

  

• Dark Mode Support: Easily enable dark mode in settings.

  

• Choose between Hira and Kata: If you don't want to practice Hiragana and Katakana together, you can choose to get words only in desired alphabet to practice (Settings switches).
• Word Translations: English translation for every word, so you can learn them in the process.
• Animated Feedback: Visual feedback for correct and incorrect guesses.
• Responsive Design: Works well on both desktop and mobile devices.
• Report feauture: Report wrong words with one click by GitHub or email.
