Katakana Quiz – FAQ
How do I pick katakana sets in this quiz?
Use the selector to choose which katakana to study in the quiz. Toggle basic katakana (ア, カ, サ, ...), digraphs (キャ, シャ, チャ), dakuten (ガ, ザ, ダ), and handakuten (パ, ピ, プ). Navigate sets with the arrows and tick the groups you want to include in the katakana test.
How does the katakana quiz work?
Start practice to see one katakana at a time. Enter the romaji reading and check your answer. Immediate feedback turns this katakana quiz into active‑recall practice that builds recognition quickly.
What are katakana dakuten and handakuten?
Dakuten (゛) and handakuten (゜) modify base katakana sounds. カ (ka) becomes ガ (ga) with dakuten, and ハ (ha) becomes パ (pa) with handakuten. These sets appear in the test if you select them.
Can I study specific katakana character groups?
Yes. You can target specific groups: basic katakana (ア–ン), voiced consonants (dakuten), semi‑voiced consonants (handakuten), and digraphs (contracted sounds). This lets the katakana exam‑style drill focus on your weak characters.
How does this katakana quiz help me learn Japanese?
You can practice the katakana characters as many times as you want. It strengthens character recognition, improves reading speed, and builds a solid foundation for reading and writing.
What happens if I get answers wrong?
Mistakes trigger instant feedback. The quiz shows the correct reading so you can compare and retry. Use errors as cues for spaced repetition and track accuracy over sessions.
