Full disclosure: I teach Japanese at the same institution with Dr. Emiko Konomi, the author of this learning aid. My review of her new product will touch on how this study aid ably reflects her teaching philosophy and practice.As a Japanese language instructor, I often recommend flash cards to students as a good way for them to learn hiragana, katakana, and kanji. They also help build vocabulary. What I find disheartening is that in the digital age, students favor cheap "app" versions that do very little each slide/"card". Long ago, making one's own flash card set (tora no maki) was an old skill you developed as a student of Japanese -- that is, before the new millennium. It seems a lost art. I thought so until I saw Emiko Konomi's updated Hiragana and Katakana Flash Card set from Tuttle. Everything you'd want on a flash card to learn hiragana and katakana she has put on these cards.What do I mean by "everything"?* The cards have the hiragana and katakana beautifully written.* Stroke order is shown in box-by-box, step-by-step -- little arrows show the direction you should write. This is something many textbooks often leave out.* 6 Vocabulary items for each mora ("letter") are provided. *I'll have more to say on the nice selection of vocabulary below.** Another nice feature is that in the lower right corner where she shows easily confused hiragana/katakana. This will be very helpful for new learners.* On the back of the cards, the vocabulary is explained/defined in English.* There is a small pronunciation guide/aid. For example., on "a" the guide explains: "Open your mouth and say, 'Ah,'" says the dentist.
