Abstract
In paper, we describe a PC-based Japanese hand alphabet learning system: Practice! Yubimoji AIUEO (PYA) to let ordinary elementary school pupils learn basic character expressions (AIUEO) of the Japanese hand characters (Yubimoji). PYA is a very simple system both from technical and educational points of view. Experiments in an elementary school shows that pupils have really enjoyed the system and learning, thus, we believe PYA is effective as an edutainment tool.
