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.
