    Link: "Self-Study Room" from Genki Online You can find a Hiragana Chart and Hiragana Flash Cards among other self-study material. The Hiragana Chart helps you learn the form and sound of each hiragana letter. There is a move for each letter so that you can memorize the form visually. The Hiragana Flash Cards help you learn to recognize hiragana. The format is multiple choice. Although flash cards are an effective way to start learning hiragana, you need to write hiragana on paper repeatedly until you learn them completely.
