Study Japanese in the Command Line !

Do you want to study Japanese? How many times did you fail in remembering hiragana/katakana? Is there a easy way to master them ?

Yes, you can learn and practice kanas now in the command line by playing KanaQuiz.

List kanas by

python3 kanaquiz.py -l
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You can see hiraganas and katakanas right in your terminal:

Start a new quiz by

python3 kanaquiz.py -h
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

After pressing Enter, the quiz proceeds:

Read the kana character in the square brackets [ ] and input its romanized name after the question mark ? then press Enter ASAP to continue.

After finished, there will be a beautiful report:

Figure out which kana got the slowest response time (you are least likely to remember) and take time to practice.

The history reports can always be queried by:

python3 kanaquiz.py -q
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Enjoy.

Learn Japanese efficiently in the command line! Use Anki with ankicli for vocab, jp for kanji lookup, and kakasi for romaji conversion. Practice grammar with jisho-cli, read with nhk-easy-cli, and quiz yourself using DepED MATATAG
wanikani-cli. Stay distraction-free while mastering Japanese straight from your terminal!
