Practice game modes

Learn Japanese through fast practice games on iPhone.

Hane includes seven practice game modes that turn kanji, kana, vocabulary, grammar, and reading into short, active rounds with instant feedback.

Free during the public beta on Apple TestFlight.

Kana Trio

Practice hiragana and katakana recognition through fast matching rounds. Great for beginners and for warming up before kanji or reading practice.

Kanji Memory

Match kanji with meanings, readings, or example words. This is the core recognition game that builds the mental link between a character and its usage.

Reading Battle

Read a Japanese passage and answer comprehension questions. Furigana and vocabulary support are available, but the goal is to understand real text, not just translate word by word.

Word Finder

Build or pick the correct word to complete a sentence. This tests vocabulary in grammatical context, so you learn collocations and particle usage at the same time.

Whack-a-Kanji

Fast recognition under time pressure. Kanji appear and you select the correct meaning or reading before time runs out. Builds speed and automatic recall.

Particle Picker

Pick the right particle (は, が, に, で, を, etc.) for a sentence. This is one of the most important grammar games because particles are the glue of Japanese sentences.

Kanji Climb

A level-based progression mode that pushes new kanji at the right difficulty. You climb by mastering sets of characters, with review intervals built in.

Active recall and short-session learning

Every game is built around active recall: you generate or select an answer, not just recognize a flashcard. Sessions are short (two to five minutes) so you can fit real practice into a busy day.
