Japanese 101: hiragana and katakana
Jan. 8th, 2017 01:59 pmAll righty. I'm throwing together some weekly learn Japanese stuff for ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
yhlee, and I'm posting it here for anyone who wants to play along.
This week's post is about hiragana and katakana. I'm going to focus more on drilling and just getting vocabulary out there than how to memorise the shapes and forms; there are many good resources available on Google for that.
In general, I'm going to try to convey what was useful to me as a learner and the methods I used to help brute-force my way to reading competence.
I'm going to try to keep the kid gloves off and throw in real words, with real difficulty, sooner rather than later. The faster we jump into the hot pan of reading real sentences, the faster we'll get to the kick of getting a mental reward for our efforts - without which learning is kinda hard.
