KANA Trainer is a small program written in Basic for the TI-89 calculator. It is designed for beginner Japanese learners and aims to help with the memorization of Kana characters (Hiragana and Katakana).

It uses the principle of flashcards: the original expression is written on the front side of the card and the translation is on the back. The calculator shows you a random character and you must find the translation, you can then check your answer by pressing Enter.
The calculator can ask for a translation from Hiragana, Katakana, or Rômaji. You can also limit the quizz to the first N rows of the table to learn gradually.
