Study Japanese in the Command Line !

Do you want to study Japanese? How many times did you fail in remembering hiragana/katakana? Is there a easy way to master them ?

Yes, you can learn and practice kanas now in the command line by playing KanaQuiz.

List kanas by

python3 kanaquiz.py -l
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You can see hiraganas and katakanas right in your terminal:

Start a new quiz by

python3 kanaquiz.py -h
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

After pressing Enter, the quiz proceeds:

Read the kana character in the square brackets [ ] and input its romanized name after the question mark ? then press Enter ASAP to continue.

After finished, there will be a beautiful report:

Figure out which kana got the slowest response time (you are least likely to remember) and take time to practice.

The history reports can always be queried by:

python3 kanaquiz.py -q
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Enjoy.
