Basic Hiragana Test

Okay guys, I have given you tons of time to study, and now it's time to take the test and see where you are at with your Basic Hiragana Skills.  Please keep in mind that if you fail to memorize the basic hiragana, then you will really have a hard time in future lessons, because within the next month, after we learn the combinations, I am going to be posting example sentences in Japanese, and I will NOT be providing romaji. You will need to be able to read the hiragana, and, eventually, the katakana.

The flashcards for all 46 hiragana are HERE (they are multiple choice, but it's 1 out of all 46).

Now, being as I have LEARNED these before, I will tell you... Being able to recognize the hiragana is not the same as KNOWING them.  If you can't, from memory, produce a 'ku' or a 'ya' or a 'nu', without having to have the hiragana in front of you, then you don't actually KNOW them.

And that is why, the ultimate test of your skills is right here.  Fill in the chart.



This concludes the test post.

The next post we will be learning the diacritic marks and combinations, which modify the basic hiragana and using those relatively simple add-ons, you can make all 270 or so sounds in the Japanese language.
