Detailed information

Mastering written Japanese begins with hands-on practice, and Writing Japanese Hiragana offers the perfect starting point. With a spacious, easy-to-use format, this workbook encourages students to dive right in and start learning.

Written Japanese combines three scripts: the phonetic syllabaries hiragana and katakana, along with kanji characters derived from Chinese ideographs. This workbook zeroes in on the forty-six basic hiragana characters, used for native Japanese words not represented by kanji. A solid grasp of hiragana is essential for any dedicated Japanese learner.

Each hiragana character is presented in brushed, handwritten, and typed formats to boost recognition and understanding. Generous writing space allows for ample practice, ensuring each character is memorized accurately and confidently. Charming illustrations and engaging onomatopoeic examples make learning interactive and enjoyable, reinforcing character retention through a fun, memorable approach.

Ideal for both young learners and adults new to Japanese, Writing Japanese Hiragana includes:
  • Grayed-out, trace-over characters for guided practice
  • Practice sentences to reinforce retention
  • Brief insights into each character's origins, helping foster visual recall

This workbook offers an effective, hands-on introduction to hiragana, making it a valuable tool for beginners of all ages.
