Hiragana Reading Practice: 200 Japanese Words with Pictures & Audio

Test your hiragana reading with 200 everyday Japanese nouns! Each word appears for 5 seconds — try to read it before the timer runs out. Then see the romaji, the English meaning and a picture, and hear the word spoken twice by two native-style voices (female and male). The words get harder level by level, so you can see exactly where your reading is strong and where you need practice: 📗 Level 1 – Basic hiragana, 2 letters (ねこ, やま, ほん) 📘 Level 2 – Basic hiragana, 3–4 letters (さかな, つくえ, ひまわり) 📙 Level 3 – Voiced marks ゛゜ (たまご, めがね, ともだち) 📕 Level 4 – Small ゃ ゅ ょ (でんしゃ, おちゃ, としょかん) 📓 Level 5 – Small っ and long vowels (がっこう, きって, おかあさん) How to practise: 1. Say each word out loud before the timer ends. 2. Pause the video if you need more time — that's fine! 3. Watch again in a few days and see how many more you can read.
