What is Kana Learning Tool (Work In Progress) ?

This software is under development, core program isn't finish yet. You can try it if you want but some features will come later

KLT (Kana Learning Tool) is a terminal programm that will help you learn and practice your kana. Currently KLT has only small features such as :

• Display kana/romaji table
• Practice with random kana

But soon it will offer you the possibility to store and adapt your progression with different users profile. It will also offer the possibility to practice with some words.

IMPORTANT : Katakana is now supported random training mode

Distribution

Because of some non-portable functions used, KLT will only be available for Linux during is developpment time. But once the core programm will be finish, a cross-platform version will come (and maybe with GUI)

It have been test on :

• Ubuntu 16.06 and 18.04

sudo make install # will create a symlink in /usr/bin
