How do you memorize Japanese Hiragana Katakana 50 Sounds Word List without forgetting it?

Tomaru is the vocabulary app that schedules reviews with spaced repetition. Add this list and you get these three things.

  1. Tomaru decides what you study today

    Open the app and today's new words and due reviews are already there, with a time estimate. No planning on your side.

  2. Weak words come back more often
