wakaranai 0.0.1

An educational tool for learning hiragana and katakana

わからない (wakaranai) literally means "I don't understand" in Japanese. It is a phrase worth learning, specially if you plan to visit Japan anytime soon. If you'd like to learn more than just a couple of key phrases, it might be useful to learn hiragana and katakana as well. This Python package, called wakaranai, helps non-Japanese speakers learn these two syllabaries by generating and applying random tests.

Usage

If you ever feel like practicing your Japanese, simply run the following command. You must choose to practice either hiragana or katakana.

python -m wakaranai {hiragana,katakana}

You will be prompted with characters from the selected kana in random order, and you must answer with their correct romanizations. The accepted romanizations are: Hepburn, Nihon-shiki, and Kunrei-shiki. Obsolete syllables such as ゐ and ヰ are ignored.

お? o
た? ta
わ? re
...

After all characters have been prompted, the results will be displayed. Wrong answers are accompanied by the correct answer(s).

お --> o ✓
た --> ta ✓
わ --> re ✗ (correct: wa)
