Why Kana Matters

Japanese uses three scripts: Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji. Hiragana and Katakana (together called kana) represent every sound in the Japanese language. Mastering both is non-negotiable for reading, writing, and speaking.

Hiragana is used for:

Grammar particles and native Japanese words

Verb and adjective endings

Children’s books, menus, signage

Katakana is used for:

Foreign loanwords (e.g. コーヒー = coffee)

Brand names and technical terms

Emphasis and onomatopoeia

Together, kana give you access to over 70% of everyday written Japanese.


Built on Proven Learning Science

Verbacard decks are designed using active recall, spaced repetition, and visual association — three evidence-backed methods shown to improve memory and comprehension.

FAQ

Are these flashcards suitable for complete beginners?

Yes, these flashcards are designed for learning the Hirigana alphabet, which is a great place to start learning the Japanese language.

What if I need help pronouncing each syllable?

Each card features pronunciation instructions on the back of the card. We also have a video guide for pronunciation and reading help here.

Do the cards contain stroke order?

No. Many flashcards try to pack too much information onto a single card, making them overwhelming and difficult to use. VerbaCard flashcards are designed for clarity and efficiency, focusing only on what matters—learning to read Hiragana quickly and effectively. If you want to see stroke orders, check out this page.
