  1. Where can I practice typing Hiragana? Like a typing test setting.

    [Monkeytype](https://www.monkeytype.com) doesn’t work for me on Windows (on mac it works fine), and it’s the only one I know with Hiragna typing tests.
    When I’m done typing a word, I press enter which selects the spelling, and that works fine. But then when I hit space it enters 2 spaces, so I have to backspace to start the next word from the beginning.

    Anyway I’d like to find a website that works in Windows as well.
