KanjiYome
Hiragana chart
All 46 basic hiragana, their 25 dakuten and handakuten variants and the 33 contracted sounds, with romaji. Hiragana write native Japanese words, verb endings and particles: it is the first script to learn, and it takes a few days.

Japanese uses three scripts at once: hiragana for grammar and native words, katakana for loan words, and kanji for meaning roots. Reading kana is therefore not enough to read a real sentence, and that is exactly the wall KanjiYome removes by putting the reading above every kanji.
Kana done. What now?
After kana, the real obstacle is kanji. KanjiYome puts furigana and a dictionary on any Japanese text, offline, so you can read before you know everything.
