Hiragana and katakana, and how kana review works.

1 min read

Kana are the Japanese syllables, hiragana and katakana. They are the first thing to learn, and they are the one part of TanoshiGo with no paywall anywhere.

Three ways a kana card appears

  1. Passing a lesson check that covers it, the first time you clear it.
  2. Finishing a kana drill in the trainer.
  3. Collecting it by hand from the kana grid.

Kana progress cannot be disturbed

Kana cards live in their own table, keyed by the character itself rather than by a dictionary id. Dictionary re-imports, word retirements, and level changes cannot touch them.
Guests get the kana trainer in full, with stats kept in the browser. Nothing here is capped or sampled.
