Artist's Comments

This quiz checks your knowledge on translating the basic 46 Japanese Hiragana syllables into roman letter sounds. The next updated version will include the Hiragana with diacritical marks. Also planned are entirely seperate versions which:
1. Check your knowledge of the order of the characters
2. Check your knowledge on translating roman letter sounds into Hiragana syllables
and
3. Test everything!

Please be as critical as you can in any way with this quiz, so I may improve it! Arigato Gozaimasu!

This is a good idea for people who want to learn to translate.

A few things, though.

To make it a bit more challenging, try mixing up the order of the symbols. The Japanese alphabet is really repetetive, so it will be easy to pick out a pattern. If that's what you're going for, then it's good. But if you want people to be able to be able to pick out Japanese letters, it might be good to do a mixed up one.

Also, when it comes to the "y's," "ya," "yu and "yo," it might also be a bit more of a challenge to either put other letter sounds in, or put in ones like "yi" or "ye" to make people understand that those letters don't exist. Same goes for the "w" part, with "wa" and "wo"

Anyway, overall, I like it. Very good.

I think I did good! I'm no Hiragana expert (more kanji and katakana), but eight wrong isn't bad is it? I like this! I'm going to wait for the next one and try to do better!
BTW, Diacritical marks are the little slant marks in the corner of the characters, right? If so, I'll get confused... ^^;
Oh well! I look forward to the next one!

I'm a huge CLAMP fan, I study Japanese society, and I'm an expert at many things. I think.

I agree with the first comment. At some points during the quiz I was just going "blah bli blu bleh blow" which detracts from the learning part. On the other hand, it was fun for reviewing my hiragana, since I'd been slipping. The Y's almost got me though. ;) and I totally forgot what "wa" looked like until now.

:iconflash-r-us:
maybe some actual sounds of the words. make a little transistion for the next questions and stuff would be good
:iconsunofsamsa:
That would have helped me um... on Wednesday.. when I was studying for the quiz T_T
:iconnitah:
i made it! :bow:

it would be more difficult if you would mix it more.. for example: ma me mi mo mu not next to each other. and... you said that one sillable was called «wo».. my japanese teacher (which is japanese) said this one was a second «o»...

you are completely right . . . I never figured out how to make the quiz random, and I'm fine for now leaving it as it is until I learn how to. But yeah, I could switch them all on my own a little bit still. That one syllable my professor called <wo> just to visually make the character different, because they do sound the same, but they are used very differently in writing. It's like a 'silent' w in that case hehe. how long have you studied japanese? I really appreciate your comments, thank you so much!
