Day 16 of Monokana: I did it again! Also in exactly the same time as yesterday! 
That’s the second of 3 days, if I manage to get 100% correct again tomorrow, I’ll level up.

So from tomorrow on, I’ll be playing with Diacritics and Diagraphs – all Kana variations included.

Day 1 of Diakana: 2.3 times the cards, 4x times the time taken – at 93% accuracy on first try!
Lots of combinations were new to me. Like ヂョ(dyo) – I had typed “jo” – or ぢ (di) – I had typed “ji”. It’s easy to forget there is no “ti” in the “ta, ti, tu, te, to” series – and therefore it’s “chi” turning into “di” (not “ji”). And that there is no “cha, chi, chu, che, cho” series, but it’s always “chi” combined with diagraphs. But I’ll get used to it in the next few days, I’m sure!
Level 2 took me 17 days to finish. And I had started at 87%. Let’s see how long Level 3 will take me!

Day 2 of Diakana: Nearly 2 minutes faster, 3% more accurate – making huge progress already!
Still some combinations seem a bit weird to me. But I got ヂ (di) right, so slowly getting used to.

Day 3 of Diakana: 1% more accurate at 7 seconds faster. Still making progress!
Still confuses me to see “chi” being turned into “di” and then combined to “dya” etc. …

Day 4 of Diakana: Progressing fast, already at 99% accuracy, and another 22 seconds faster!
I got all the “di”, “dya”, “dyo”, etc. right – just random failures. I’ll probably stay at 99% for a while.

Day 5 of Diakana: Had to do it under pressure while talking (since we had to leave).
Will be back tomorrow to the regular schedule.

Day 6 of Diakana: Back at 99%! With only 2 mistakes, I’m so close to 100%. 
But I got ヂ (di) wrong again, wrote “ji” instead (which seems to make so much more sense to me).

Day 7 of Diakana: I tried to be faster today, which worked, but at the cost of accuracy.
I think I’ll go back at accuracy tomorrow. But it’s also important to read fast, no?

Day 8 of Diakana: I made it – 100% correct, and relatively fast, too!
But I actually made one mistake, so it seems GoKana doesn’t always round down as expected.
If I keep getting 100% correct for the next 2 days, I’ll have accomplished the GoKana challenge.

Day 9 of Diakana: Today I made 3 mistakes so just 99% – at 3 seconds faster.
Hopefully back to 100% tomorrow!

Day 10 of Diakana: Here we go again, 100% – and another 6 seconds faster than yesterday!
I’m gettin’ there. I could potentially graduate in 2 days, let’s see!

Day 11 of Diakana: 100% again and a whole 45 seconds faster, too!
One more day with 100% and I’ll graduate! 
The day has come. I completed the Daily GoKana Challenge! 
I had started on February 1st, today is March 1st – exactly 1 month or 4 weeks later, I finally graduated and feel confident about all Hiragana and Katakana!
I really enjoyed this journey and I believe it will be hugely beneficial to reading all those shop names and menu items written in Katakana in Japan, which I had always struggled with. From here on, I will focus more on vocab and grammar while still playing GoKana every now and then.
Maybe I could make it to the high score list sometime? The leaderboard starts at 4:12 min, I’m not too far off. But I find it weird that non-100% completions are listed, too. Kinda unfair. 
Anyways, thanks for everyone following and supporting me in this thread!

Congratulations!! This surely is a valid first step!
IMHO it’s not completely unfair to have leaderboards with non-100% completions… It’s not easy to touch-type without making any mistake, especially since “uio” are so close it’s so easy to mistype “つ” as “と”. I think that accurate typing is out of the scope of this game, what really matters is that you get it
