Dear Patrick,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for putting the reading programs online! I've been looking for one for ages. I'm trying to see if it would be possible for me to memorise all poems and play karuta, but I have no knowledge of Japanese whatsoever (I'm Dutch) and I figured listening to the audio might help. Anyway, thanks again and good luck with your karuta club!
Jenna
It's no problem whatsoever! I'm glad that you're interested in karuta, and hope that you can one day soon play yourself!
DeleteCould you please add the new onw for learning kimariji? The 70-100. Because i really want to learn it!
