| I put a vocabulary list like above in every lesson to help you practice Hiragana/Katakana. The alphabets in “Word” column are called as “kanji”, you don’t need to remember them for now.（I have kanji course to help you remember kanji by its origin and its vocabulary, you can learn them later.） And you don’t need to remember these words too（although it won’t hurt to remember part of them）, The purpose of this vocabulary list is to help you practice Hiragana. |
