App for learning Japanese Colours

Hello all. 

 

A few months ago I made this website:

 

http://lighthold.co.uk/cssiro/

 

It's an app for interacting with Japanese colours. I made it in hopes I could help some learners while also learning more myself. 

 

It features pronounciation, Kanji, Hiragana and Romaji for each colour. Aswell as helpful images to associate with the colour. You can also navigate to the useful Japanese dictionary 'mynakama' to find out more about the individual kanji involved. It also features a game mode, click the menu button on the top left of the page to find it. The game mode will test your memory of the colours and keep score. 

 

Let me know what you think and whether it helps with learning Japanese.

 

Thanks!

When you read a name in Kanji, how do you know how to say it? Looking at credits for movies, all the names are written in Kanji. Problem is, considering the numerous ways to pronounce each Kanji, how do Japanese natives know how to say a person's name when they've only seen it on paper?
