Bonus
Japanese Alphabets
There are three types of Japanese Alphabets.
They are Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji.
If you want to learn Japanese from scratch, hiragana and katakana will be your first step.
Notes:
| ①On this website, There are hiragana(also known as furigana) above all kanji, so it’s perfectly fine if you don’t know how to read kanji for now. By the way, there are kanji courses on this website to help you remember kanji easier. ②There is a forum on this website (you can find it in the nav menu), if you have any questions or suggestions, just post them there and I will help you. ③For people who want to access the website easier on the home screen, here is a post to help you. |
Practice Sheet:
You can click the link below to download a printable practice sheet to practice hiragana, katakana and kanji.

It’s okay! If you have any questions, just ask me in the forum!
First course! Let us begin.
I’m so happy because i found your website on Reddit 👉👈
haha! Glad you like it! Feel free to ask me questions in the forum! Always here to help you!
Love this!
Just saw your post on Duolingo , Where at the moment I’m using it to learn basic Japanese however I don’t want to depend solely on Duolingo itself so i been on a hunt for some apps and websites to help me with my journey, and this my friend is already looking very promising , can’t wait to get into it , keep up the good work..
Thanks! I will make this website the best Japanese learning website in the world! Stay tuned!
I love this website! I think you continue expanding this website so that it will be a main language learning site!
This site is amazing! Marshall, you’re amazing!
Will you ever consider making an app like this?
I hope I can do it, but making an app is super expensive, and as a student, I can’t afford it.
I have already learned more on here than Duolingo in my first lesson! Thank you Marshall! <3
Not to throw shade on Duolingo, it is still a very good way to learn!
You are welcome! And if you have any questions, you can ask me in the forum.
And you can practice your Japanese by making sentences in the playground of the forum!I will check for you!
For me, it’s the fact that I’m one of those people who don’t find any interest in what they teach you in school. I just study to the point where my grades are acceptable and give a larger amount of focus to Japanese.
Oh wow ! I already am familiar with the sounds and pronunciation, but omg that girl is sooooo cute! Very good way to learn Japanese! I wish I can donate , but I am just 11… PS Arigatou!!!!
ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU!!!!!!
Thank you very much for the Lessons and website 🙂
I am planning a trip to Japan in a few years, and might like to emigrate there one day.
I am a law student, and would love to practice international law, or immigration law in Japan.
That’s great! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me in the forum!
I now have mad respect for all native japanese speakers ,she says the kana so fast!
haha🤣
it doesn’t make sense,but i guess it’s because it’s a different alphabet
i feel like i’m reading a manga with videos, pdfs and the animations make it lively and immersive. good job marshall
haha! Glad to hear that!
haha I’m learning Hiragana and Katakana and wad searching for something like your website and finally found you on Facebook
Hello! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me in the forum😊
Starting soon, found you on OP reddit
Great! If you have any questions, just ask me in the forum and I will help you!
I can’t help but cry because of your kindness!😌🤧
um, I’m a bit confused. Should I jump to the hiragana song section after this? or is there supposed to be a video or something in this Japanese Alphabet section? Thank you!
Yes, just jump to Hiragana song
Shion Pettan is love <3
Thx for this awesome website :3 though I am bit advance in my studies, I still gonna go from scratch to see your work 😀
You are welcome! Feel free to ask me questions in the forum~o(〃’▽’〃)o
Any ideas as to how to organize the practice sheet? I just printed one and want to get the most uses out of it the best I can.
Thank you for This. Gotta Camp here to learn more about Japanese language.
You are welcome!
Thank you this website!
You are welcome!
Starting my journey now!
Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions!
Found this on a YouTube shorts comment section. So random lol
Welcome!
Where can I download the alphabets?
you mean flashcards?
The hyperlink for the “home screen tutorial” isn’t working (Note ③) – atleast for me (“Oops! That page can’t be found.”).
It should work now. Sorry, I recently make an update of the website guide and forget to update the link here.
