Save time… download your free kana and kanji flashcards here. (Woo hoo!)
I am just getting started with these, and I would appreciate your feedback. Here’s what I have so far:
Hiragana Flashcards (textbook font)
Hiragana Flashcards (handwriting font)
Katakana Flashcards (textbook font)
Katakana Flashcards (handwriting font)
Kanji Flash Cards Grade 1 (handwriting font)
Don’t forget to print double sided when you try these. 
The kana flashcards include the rarely used characters ゐ and ゑ. You probably won’t be required to learn these, but I thought I would include them for those who are interested. The drawback there is that there is one lonely kana on the last page of the flashcard set. I’ll see about shifting things around a bit to fix that soon.
In the meantime, please let me know how you like these flash cards by clicking one of the buttons below:
And just FYI, I am only doing single kanji at the moment, not compounds. I will be doing compounds in the future, once I power through all the individual kanji.
If there is anything else you’d like to see in the flash cards, please let me know in the comments!
Those look great and can’t wait for more! Single kanji is fine for now, but I would eventually add compounds. Thanks again!
Hi! Me again. I think that the flashcards are great! They’re a little small though. Great job and thanks for doing this. Can’t wait for more.
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll work on making a larger version and see what size is more popular.
In addition to these, which are actually great for studying, I would like to see SMALLER ones (yes! even smaller), maybe 50% the current size, to make them more portable for revision (e.g. on a bus). If fitting the readings and translations together on the flip side would make them too small, you could make 2 ultra-portable versions – one with just the readings, one with just the English translations.
I’ll see what I can do about providing a variety of sizes so you can all just pick and choose what works best for you. In the meantime, you could try using your page and printer settings to get some smaller cards. For example, start in your PDF reader at the File menu and choose Page Setup, then change the % to whatever size suits you (say, 50% of the original). Then when you go to print, make sure your printer settings do not “stretch to fill” or “scale to fit,” and make sure the image is centered on the page. This will waste a little paper around the edges, but I think this will work to give you exactly the size you want.
Please let me know if this works for you!
Hey that’s sweet! Thanks for the share!
