Questions

When you think you know the lesson, you can pass a little exam, composed of a set of ten questions. Every question consists of choosing the correct Roman transcription of the Japanese character randomly selected, by clicking on one of the proposed answers in the lower half of the screen.

At the end of the test, a screen summarizes your answers. The size of each bar is proportional to the time spent to find a correct solution. You can immediately spot you weaknesses. Below, are displayed the total time, the number of good answers at your first try, and a global evaluation.
