Why Games Work
Japanese has three writing systems. Games help.
Learning hiragana, katakana, and kanji means memorizing hundreds of characters — each with multiple readings. Traditional flashcards test one direction at a time. Game-based practice tests recognition, recall, and context simultaneously across different formats, which is exactly what Japanese learners need.
