Frequently asked questions
Is YomuKana free?
Yes. The alphabet, Moji Dojo, and flashcards are free and usable without an account. An account is optional — it saves your decks and progress.
Do I need an account to start?
No. You can study right away, no login. Create an account when you want to save your flashcards and sync progress across devices.
Where do I start?
With the kana. Train hiragana and katakana in Moji Dojo until they're automatic, and use the Alphabet as a reference. Then move on to vocabulary with the flashcards.
What's the difference between Moji Dojo and Flashcard?
Moji Dojo trains kana reading through active recall, in a fast game. Flashcard memorizes words and sentences long-term with spaced repetition — the daily habit.
What is spaced repetition (SRS)?
It's reviewing each item just before you'd forget it. Spacing reviews at the right time locks content into long-term memory with a few minutes a day.
How much time do I need each day?
About 15 minutes a day keeps steady progress. Consistency matters more than long sessions.
Does YomuKana work on mobile?
Yes. YomuKana runs right in your phone's browser — nothing to install, just open and study.
