Note:
| I’ve included a vocabulary list like the one above in each lesson to help you practice Hiragana and Katakana. The characters in the Word column are Kanji, but don’t worry about memorizing them yet — there’s a separate Kanji course for that. You don’t need to memorize these words either (though it can be a little helpful!). The main goal is just to give you fun practice with Hiragana. ✨ |

This is a fantastic resource. I really appreciate the examples to remember each character. Thanks a lot.
How would you pronounce these all together like in the vocabulary list?
I love the vocabulary table, it helps!
Thanks a lot. This is really really helpful:)
Just starting out! All my best to every fellow japanese enthusiast!
How are you faring currently?
I’ll take it that you’ve given up?
yeah, you’ve definitely gave up lmao
Hi there!!
First, thank you for your dedication to teaching japanese to complete strangers on the internet. You are wonderful.
I did have questions on the vocabulary. I do not know the differences between kanji and the other alphabets. So, It seems a little too easy to pronounce these and be what they actually are. I think the kanji may be throwing me off. Such as “い” does that actually mean “stomach”? or is it a contextual character? and so on.
Maybe I need a quick run down on the differences between the alphabets and why theres different ones. Thank you again!
You are welcome! If you have any questions, just comment below every lesson! I will help you!
Here I go, embarking on my journey towards learning Japanese. Hopefully next year I can revisit this comment and see just how much Ive grown. But, knowing me, I probably wont last that long, but we’ll see. Wish me luck!
Nice to meet you! If you have any questions just comment below the lesson! I will answer your question as soon as possible！
Good luck!
Well, here I am, one year later… I have managed to learn quite a lot of Japanese over the past year, but have stopped for multiple months at a time since I get busy… or lazy. (lol) I’m glad that at least I’ve gotten this far and I hope to invest time into Japanese this year as well. I guess I’ll come back in another year to see if I’ve learned anything.
頑張って！
Hey how is your Japanese now ?
Yeah. Here I am 4 years later lmao. My prediction was right.
Hey man really appreciate the way you added a vocabulary table below the lessons. It helps a lot.
You are welcome!
