Performance is ranked by speed, mistakes made and review difficulty. The application will also highlight the user's weakest kana characters for further study. Features include voice samples from native Japanese speakers, Rumble Pak and DS Motion support. Cute bonus: the application will greet you appropriately depending on the time of day!

Learning Hiragana and Katakana is pretty easy if you do a little bit of practice everyday.
The trick is to slowly incorporate a little bit of kanji as you progress.
