———————————————————-

There’s a moment every language learner knows.

You’ve studied the vocabulary. Written it down. Repeated
it out loud. And then, a week later, it’s gone.

That’s not a failure of effort. That’s just how memory works,
unless something makes it stick.

This word search was built for that moment, and the
moments that come after it.

If you’ve worked through the Hiragana in 10 Days workbook
and drilled with the Flashcards, this is your third step:
finding words you already know, in a new context, feeling
them settle deeper into memory. Research consistently shows
that retrieval practice — recalling rather than reviewing —
dramatically improves long-term retention.

Starting here is also perfectly valid. All 370+ words are
written in hiragana, organized by sound. As you search,
you’re training your eye to read hiragana naturally, the way
a reader does, not the way a student memorizes.

Every word is a noun. A deliberate choice. With just a
handful, you can already say something meaningful:
これは ねこ です. The grammar can come later.
First, let’s give you the words.
