そっくりな かな

シ or ツ? こ or ニ? Both scripts, one quiz

どの音?which sound

Shapes that look alike but read differently — ツ and シ, こ and ニ.

ツ ↔ シ

どっち?which script

Same kana, two scripts. Spotting katakana is spotting a borrowed word.

か ↔ カ

へ と ヘthe exception

These two really are identical. You read them from the characters around them, not alone.

not in the quiz

Some kana differ by one stroke, or by which direction a stroke was drawn. Each question shows one character and offers only the shapes it actually gets confused with — so this is about telling them apart, not about remembering the whole chart. 🔊 Tap the character to hear it.
