“A Must-Play for Beginners Learning Hiragana”
Yokoso Otaku on Youtube

“Honestly, I struggled so much to learn the Hiragana and I'd been doing duolingo for a long time. Getting it gamified was life changing. Recommended it to everyone in my N5 class xD”

“I really enjoyed Hiragana Hero. I know I got frustrated at one point, but in the end, it was a fantastic way to learn or master hiragana.”
