Learning Hiragana
Monday May 18, 2009
How is your Japanese study going? Have you started learning Japanese writing? If you are new to Japanese, I recommend you learn hiragana first. Japanese children usually start with hiragana as well. They practice each character repeatedly until they master it. It might feel a little tedious, but it is very important to write Japanese with the correct stroke order. There are various Japanese sites that allow you to download free hiragana worksheets. I like the Kids Nifty site as it has cute pictures to make studying fun. It is also pretty easy to follow the instructions, even if you can’t read Japanese. I have also updated my hiragana lessons. I think it will be very rewarding if you start to recognize some hiragana characters. I hope you enjoy studying hiragana.

ひらがなは簡単だと思いますが漢字はすごく難しいです。
去年から日本語が勉強していますが、いい漢字のならう方や本がみつけられませんでした。いいのをしていますか。

Games can be a great way to learn a new language. Check out Learn Hiragana and Katakana Games for games to help you learn hiragana and katakana.
Hiragana is great it took me about aweek to learn every time i kept forgetting specific ones But just learned to study on the difficult ones the ones that look similar and think of something to remind me of them. katakana is more hard for me i dont study it alot.
Kanji is an art form i have 70 memorized But writting all is difficult
I was disappointed to try the audio section and have no success. Has it been discontinued?
I’ve seen good results with online quizzes… at least for character recognition. Yomuze.com is a good one.
