Romaji typing practice: foydalanish tartibi
- 1
Switch Japanese input off
Put your IME in direct input (英数 on a Mac, 半角/全角 on Windows) so the keys type Latin letters; a notice appears if it is still on.
- 2
Choose a lesson or a themed set
Begin with the vowels and the kana rows, or pick daily life, food, travel, business phrases, proverbs, the prefectures or a classic novel.
- 3
Type the romaji under the kana
Each item shows the kanji text, its kana reading and a romaji guide. Any spelling an IME accepts is fine, and the guide switches to yours.

Romaji typing practice haqida
Romaji typing practice is the Japanese course of our typing tutor, built for the way Japanese is typed on a computer: you read 漢字かな交じり text and type its reading in Latin letters, as you would with an input method, but the page checks every keystroke itself. Three lines sit above the keyboard: the text, its kana reading and the romaji guide, which shows one spelling and rewrites itself as soon as you choose another. し can be shi, si or ci, じゃ can be ja, jya or zya, and a combined sound can even be split, as in shixya; a strict setting limits you to the efficient forms for drilling.
The trickier rules are handled the way IMEs handle them. ん takes nn, xn or n', and a single n only before a consonant, so こんにちは needs konnnichiha. っ doubles the next consonant or takes xtu, ー is the minus key, and 、。 are the comma and period. The keyboard is drawn as a JIS board with 半角/全角, ¥, 無変換, 変換 and かな, optional kana legends and a US layout option.
There are 28 lessons from あいうえお to loanwords, numbers and punctuation, and 12 themed sets in the style of Japanese typing sites: 15 items, a 3-2-1 countdown, a 400 ms pause between items and a 240-second limit. It does not teach JIS kana input or kanji conversion.
