Got them all with 44 seconds to spare. I'm pleased to know I still remember them even though I haven't practised Japanese for two years!

It's been 6 years since I finished Japanese classes. 57 seconds to spare. I'm glad to know I only forgot vocab.

As someone who doesn't speak or write Japanese, I just got A I U E O, and gave up immediately afterwards.

What? "Tsu" for す? That's not correct at all.

Yeah... I know but the pronunciation sounds kinda same and it's confusing (~_~メ)

Cool quiz, the randomisation makes it a lot more interesting too.

I don't actually know any hiragana, I just spent my time typing in various syllables and pressing tab until I found the right one, haha. I got 5 (to, hi, shi, n, and no). It'll be interesting to compare my scores when I actually start trying to learn Japanese.
