Aside from that it's pretty handy!


Hi,

This is one of the features i will implement soon i think, i've chosen to go with one system but quite a few people suggested that i really should enable multiple correct answers. I think it's a good idea - the whole point with Kanaflash is to help you read roumaji, and if you read it as "ja" or "jya" shouldn't matter since it's just an interpretation of the japanese syllable.

I'll fix this soon! Kanaflash will be updated in a day or so i believe :-) Thanks for the comments!

Depends whether you're using the ƒwƒ{ƒ“Ž® or the ŒP—ߎ® to transliterate.
Most foreigners favor the ƒwƒ{ƒ“Ž® (Hepburn-shiki) because ja, shi, and fu are more easily recognizable for ‚¶‚áC‚µCand ‚Ӂ@than jya, si, and hu are.
ŒP—ߎ® is what is taught to Japanese children in school, although they can read both. But, for all intensive purposes of this web app, in my personal opinion, I think that the Hepburn-shiki is probably the best choice.

Unless, of course, the programmer decides to allow input for both to be correct.

HTH,

Hi!

Kanaflash will be updated soon, and with multiple correct answers for the affected characters - try to please both camps :-)
