How to *practice* Kana so it sticks

[yon]

I asked @chikorita157 about this already, but I thought I'd throw it out here again. Anyone sitting on good ways to really burn those dang kana into your memory? I got this link as a suggestiong (https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/learn-hiragana/) which I will indeed try out, but that said Mnemonics and me aren't friend. But I will give anything a go at this point.

Big bonus points if it's *not* from the point of view on an English speaker (or any other language speaker). I was never a fan of learning languages by translating, I find that it messes things up and gives you an odd idea of what words actually mean. I have managed to learn one extra language in the past, so it must be possible (English)

Learning Japanese presents a unique issue for most students. Unlike learning another language which also relies on the Roman alphabet (French, German, Spanish etc), Japanese requires you to learn the spoken language, as well as

I personally used Remembering the Kana, which also use mnemoics as well. You can just brute force it by using Anki as there are flash card decks for Hiragana and Katakana.

Personally, I just grinded this site for like a week until I felt comfortable with them. I found that they really got ingrained as I started learning other things, since you just have to use them all the time.
