It requires a Perl interpreter, version 5.6.0 or +later (but it won't work with Perl 6) and a terminal capable of displaying +glyphs specified with UTF-8. At the moment I know of only two programs capable +of this: xterm as included in XFree86 4.x, and EMACS with `Mule-UCS`_ or +`oc-unicode`_ packages. + +The program contains two exercises: in the first one you're presented with a +hiragana and you should write its pronounciation. To avoid ambiguities is best +to write it after the *Kunrei* romanization (ち 'ti', し 'si', ぢ 'di') instead of +the more common *Hepburn* (ち 'chi', し 'shi', ぢ 'ji'). If you make a mistake the +correct pronounciation will be shown, along with the hiragana corresponding to +the one you gave (if any). + +In the second exercise you're presented with a pronunciation (written after the +*Kunrei* system) and five different hiragana characters, where only one is the +right one. You should write the number relative to the right one. If you make a +mistake the correct hiragana will be shown, along with the pronunication of the +one you chose. + +To end each exercise just give an empty answer. + +.. _`oc-unicode`: + http://www.cs.ruu.nl/~otfried/Mule/ + +.. _`mule-ucs`: + ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/Mule-UCS/ |
