-----> WHAT ?

Kanatest is a Japanese kana (Hiragana and Katakana) simple flashcard tool.
You can learn, or remind yourself about kana chars in quick and easy way!

List of key features:

    * Fifteen lessons (groups of kana chars)
    * Lesson can be fully customizable by user
    * Repeating wrongly-answered questions mode
    * Built-in kana chart
    * Advanced statistics

During test the Kanatest displays randomly selected kana char (respecting
mode and lesson) and waits for user answer expected as romaji equivalent.
