Japanese Syllabary - Hiragana

These hiragana flashcards have been such a great tool for learning. Each card has the hiragana character on the front, and the back includes its pronunciation, stroke order, and the corresponding katakana and kanji (when applicable). I really appreciate being able to see how to write each character properly, not just recognize it.The cards are sturdy, easy to read, and thoughtfully designed. The extra info on the back helps make connections across writing systems early on, which I wasn’t expecting from a basic flashcard set. Great for self-study or review on the go. Highly recommend.

This set of Japanese hiragana flash cards is just what i needed for my Japanese class! They are the size of a deck of playing cards, heavy duty but easily shuffled.They contain all 104 Japanese hiragana characters, including those with diacritical marks and compound chacters.On one side of each card is a character in large size, easy to read. On the other side is the romaji pronunciation of the character, a diagram of the stroke order, the corresponding katakana character, a kanji for the character, and several words using the character, written in kanji, hiragana, romaji, with an English definition.Really useful!CPG

My work schedule has been crazy the past two days and I woke up and got a notification these cards were delivered as I was sleeping the night before. To my surprise there was no damaged from the morning dew too these cards because hoe exceptionally well they were packaged. The case is nice and usable to carry them inside a pack and not worry about them falling out because the case is like one for playing cards and doesn’t separate like an iPhone case does. Each card has the Hirigana, Katakana, as well as Kanji on each! With three words on each card and 104 Hitrigana characters, you’re also getting 312 vocabulary words with this purchase. Hirigana is only featured on one side which helps to quiz yourself. These cards are a must for someone studying correct brushstroke and trying to take in as much as possible. SUPER GREAT VALUE!!!!!

Really impressed by these flash cards. I like the quality (thicker paper with semi-glossy texture). Comes with a table chart with all the hiragana characters on it. Then there is a warranty for the cards if you lose some in the first 30 days they will ship replacements to you FREE of charge and after the 30 days you just pay for shipping. Great deal! I will be buying the Katakana versions soon. Memorized the cards in about a week but still working on writing them from memory now before tackling katakana.The katakana equivalent on the back is nice to familiarize yourself with them before diving into katakana. Then the word examples is also nice because you can practice sounding out all the hiragana you have memorized. The stroke order demonstration is also nice for those that are extra diligent.

I bought this set as a gift. They are the right size for her small hands.

I purchased these rather than an app because a) staring at one's phone endlessly is boring and b) using physical cards may help me trick my partner into learning hiragana with me (i.e. "honey, can you help quiz me again?").This set is superior in almost every way to a competitor brand I ordered earlier, which is why I'm rounding up a 3.5 star rating to 4 stars. The CARDDIA set differentiates cards by type (each card in this hiragana set states that it is hiragana, so if you purchase the separate katakana set and they get mixed up you won't get confused); lists the equivalent katakana symbol; further differentiates cards as monograph, digraph, and/or diacritic; provides stroke order so you can learn to write as you learn to read.On the negative side, they were impossible to remove from the flimsy cardboard case without damaging the box. As careful as I was, the case still tore. This ended up not being much of an issue, however, because it's beyond me how one is expected to get the cards back in the box for storage. The opened pack instantly expanded beyond the limits of the tight-fitting cardboard box. So I'll have to use a rubber band to keep the pack together, which I fear will damage the cards over time.Of greatest concern is the quality of the cards themselves. My partner and I are tabletop board gamers, so we have a lot of experience with various types of cards, and I suspect that these will not hold up to repeated use over time the way that sturdier cards with a linen finish would. I had originally planned to purchase the katakana set as well, but am now glad I decided to hold off until after I "road-test" the hiragana set for awhile.

I ordered a pack and it was missing a card, I emailed them and they sent me the missing card for free! No shipping cost or anything!Also, the cards are good quality and even show you the correct way to write it.

These cards are great and helped hiragana become second nature to me. Okay, maybe not as second nature as reading the English alphabet yet but I'm getting there. The quality and size suited me perfectly for easy and frequent handling. First, I kept them in order and went through them multiple times until I felt comfortable and familiar with them and then I shuffled them to really make sure I had them down. I kept them in their original box and tossed them into my bag whenever I had to go anywhere where I might be waiting (waiting rooms, lines, etc). The chart was useful when I needed a quick reference. I later discovered they fit beautifully into a game card carrying case for when I wanted to bring them plus other flashcards out with me.With these cards, it didn't take long at all to be able to read hiragana. I did not use them to learn writing but they could be used that way if that's what you want to do. I had already ordered a separate workbook for that at the same time I ordered these cards so it wasn't necessary. The cards do show the stroke order of each character so you could follow those and practice in a separate notebook, tablet, sheet, sand, dirt, whatever you want to write on/in.
