Why a custom hiragana quiz beats a generic one

A Quizizz-style hiragana quiz is most useful when it covers the exact rows and sounds your teacher uses, including the tricky pairs like shi and si or ru and ro. Generic sets often skip the characters you are stuck on, so start from your own kana chart or lecture slides instead.

  • Questions drawn from your own hiragana chart, not a generic list
  • Multiple-choice and true/false formats with a written explanation for each answer
  • Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study with no exports
  • Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month adds unlimited generations and PDF or DOCX export
Example hiragana quiz questions
Which hiragana is read 'shi'?し. It is romanized 'shi', not 'si', because the sh sound is the one used in this kana.
What is the hiragana for 'ro'?ろ. It is easy to mix up with る (ru), so check whether the stroke ends in a loop or a tail.
How is the hiragana が read?ga. The dakuten marks turn か (ka) into が by voicing the consonant.
What sound does つ make?tsu. It is also used as a small っ, which doubles the consonant of the kana that follows it.
Which hiragana is read 'nu'?ぬ. It is often confused with め (me), so compare the curl at the bottom of each character.

Multiple-choice and true/false

Questions come in the formats you need, so you can drill recognition with multiple choice or quick true/false checks.

Explanations for every answer

Each question includes a short explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you why the right kana is correct.

Built from your material

Start from your own hiragana charts, handouts or photos of pages, and the quiz follows the characters your course covers.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slides, a DOCX, plain text or a photo of your kana chart. Photos are read with text recognition.

Generate the quiz

Choose multiple-choice, true/false or open questions. DeckOwl writes each one with an explanation.

Practice in the browser

Work through the quiz on the free plan. Paid plans add PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export for printing or review.

Upload that material and DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions with explanations. Each explanation names the reading and the reason it differs from the near match, which helps you fix the mistake rather than memorize the answer.

Once the quiz works, the Plus plan lets you export to PDF or DOCX for paper practice, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for teachers who run quizzes in a learning management system.

Frequently asked questions

How many hiragana should I practice in one quiz?

Most learners do well with one row or a small group of about 5 to 10 characters at a time, such as the a, ka and sa rows. Once those feel automatic, mix in earlier rows so you do not forget them.

Which hiragana are the easiest to confuse?

Pairs like shi and tsu, ru and ro, and nu and me are common mix-ups. Quiz questions that show a character and ask for its reading, plus the reverse, help you catch these early.

Can I export the quiz to print it?

Yes, on the Plus plan you can export to PDF or DOCX. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students with a school email get 40% off a paid plan.
