MARU: Learn Japanese Hiragana [iPhone]

Hey there! Want to learn Japanese? MARU Japanese Kana, used by over 1 million learners around the world, is just the right tool for you. It's a small but mighty app I created to make Japanese alphabets less scary and more fun! I did such an awesome job that I wish MARU was around when I started learning Japanese. Seems like I'm not the only one, looking at all the fantastic reviews!

Jump right in and get the real Japanese vibe from a professional voice actress in a ton of exercises. There are 14 different fun practices that make learning Hiragana and Katakana as easy as pie. Reading, writing, listening, typing, and even boosting your vocab - it's all here. A perfect start to your Japanese adventure!
About those ads: only a teeny-tiny bit. You'll see an ad only after five mistakes. Since MARU was born in 2017, it's been downloaded over a million times, but I've hardly made any money with ads. No sweat, though! This is all about spreading the joy of learning Japanese!

What's inside:
• 105 Hiragana and Katakana characters, even the fancy sounds and combos.
• Over 300 everyday words (like ""hello"" and ""thank you"") for practice.
• Super clear voice recordings for all words and characters.
• MARU-kun, our adorable mascot, welcomes you every time you practice.
• A clever feature that spots your struggles and helps manage your progress.
• A fun way to practice Katakana with Hiragana words you already know.

It's totally free, but if you want to upgrade, here's what you get:
• A peaceful, ad-free experience.
• Practice offline, anytime, anywhere.
• Try your hand at writing and typing.
• Test yourself with timed exercises.
• Unlock even more words for time, date, and Katakana.

Here's one of my favorite reviews:
"This is MY #1 app for learning Japanese. I downloaded EVERY Japanese app I could find without paying a single dime. The app does exactly what it promises - nice graphics, great voice acting, and awesome practice methods. I'm in love with this awesome app!" - someone who's also very awesome
