How to Learn ひらがな (Hiragana) in a Week

Spend the first five days studying (ideally) 10 Basic Characters per day.

To remember them use Mnemonics (watch this video):

Or if you prefer, read this short Book (free pdf download here):

Practice what you've learned each day by doing the exercises in the book, or in general by reading, listening and writing hiragana (with proper Stroke Order). The more you practice, the better you will get.

Some other resources:

Once you are confident with normal hiragana you can start learning Diacritical Marks (Dakugen and Handakugen), Double Consonants and Contracted Sounds:

Practice (huuuge playlist):

Another one (it has Katakana videos in it as well):

Stories to read:

Extra credit:

If you have time you can watch videos or listen to music in Japanese to get used to how it sounds and maybe even pick up some words.

Warning! Results may vary!

This is how I learned hiragana in a week studying for about 4 hours a day.

If after a week you still don't know how hiragana don't feel bad, everybody learns at their own pace. Remember that the important thing is to stay consistent with your studying! Keep practicing and you'll reach your goals!💗

Welcome to Lesson #2 of Let’s Learn Japanese! In our first lesson, we covered the three writing systems of Japanese and the vowels. Mastering the vowels is a key step in learning Japanese because we will now be pairing those vowels with a consonant. 

The second column in Hiragana is often referred to as the K-column. We will combine the letter K with each vowel to create a new letter. This same pattern follows with Katakana, which we will cover in a later lesson. 

Let's learn the K-column in Hiragana.

Combining K and A, we get Ka. It is pronounced as “kah.”

This letter is pronounced “kee,” and we combine K and I. 

The pairing of K and U is pronounced “koo.”

Ke is pronounced “keh.”

Ko is pronounced “koh.”

When you first start learning Japanese, do not focus on writing each character. Each Japanese character must be written with a certain number of brush strokes in a specific order. Rather than writing each character, focus on recognizing them. Each time you read a Japanese character, say the pronunciation out loud. This will help you solidify your knowledge. 

Ready to test your knowledge? Match the correct letter with its Japanese character. 

Good job! You’ve already learned ten Japanese characters.

Learning a language is more accessible than it's ever been

Really.

There's such a wide variety of free lessons, resources, communities, and language exchanges.

This is especially true for Japanese and other languages not commonly taught in schools. We've been running a mildly successful Discord server for a few years now (500+ members), but now we want to use our knowledge and experience to provide *free* lessons, utilizing *free* resources in every format possible, which will eventually span from N5-N1 fluency levels.

Our lesson posts will have "homework", which are apps, websites, or Youtube videos you can use to practice what you have learned, which you can pick and choose what homework format you prefer. Don't want to download Duolingo for our first lesson's practice? Watch JapanesePod101's Youtube video on the topic instead. Don't like that? Try the link to Tofugu which covers the same topics as our lesson. We will also cover topics such as language exposure when you can't visit the country, exercises, community games held on our Discord (we're working on Japanese Trivia Monopoly for N5 right now), streams, and more just like we always have in our Discord server! Ready to learn Japanese, for free, regardless of skill level?

Here's the link to sign up to our Discord server.

We can't wait to see you there!

"posting this because i NEEEEEED this on my blog" is probably going to be the caption for 95% of the Shin-chan stuff i post BUT IT IS NO LESS TRUE BECAUSE OF IT. Masaaki Yuasa is quickly becoming one of my favorite animators and i want to have easy access to ogle at his work at any time. and i hope for you to do the same! so here's his animation for Ending 3 of the show from 1993

#i enjoyed Devilman Crybaby when it was new and REALLY enjoyed Night is Short Walk On Girl but Shin-chan is my first time seeing him actually #animate rather than as a director/affiliated with Science SARU #AND UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH HE IS SO GOOD I'M SO INSPIRED #Shin-chan has just been so fun to get into truly have not felt this passionate about getting into something since i got into LT/golden age #cartoons #a very happy and unexpected hyperfixation of 2024 #and thank you for coming along on this journey with me i know it outwardly doesn't fit my 'brand' of posting BUT ACTUALLY IT DOES BECAUSE #THE GAGS AND ANIMATION ARE SO GOOD AND SPEAK TO ME SO MUCH. aahhhhhhhhhhhhh #i've literally started taking Japanese lessons on Duolingo so i can watch more episodes that aren't subbed #i have a pretty basic knowledge of Japanese since i was once an anime obsessed 8 year old (thank you Leo Ojamajo Doremi is still treasured #in my heart) so i can make out/infer bits and pieces but it would be great to have a greater understanding and also learn how to read #Hiragana. which i've been learning! slowly #i'll probably be posting more OPs and EDs because they are so good so so good #OP 3 is stuck in my head literally all the time #COME ON BABY COME ON BABY tamanegi tabereru #if you for whatever reason are deterred by my Shin posting then my containment center for it is 'csc' so blacklist that #but hopefully you will not!! #csc #vid

[dark-side-blog3]

mm sometimes i think my yanderes would take advantage of the fact that I cant do some of the things most people can do with ease like tying their shoes or telling the difference between left and right, or the way i absorb info just to force me into being a baby. Mommy kakyoin would coax me into his lap after heavily drugging me, so I just happily melt into his embrace as he asks me what sound a puppy makes only to be met with a soft whimper of me trying to speak.. or diavolo making me do kindergarten level math in the playpen he keeps in his office for me. -📱

I've been having some trouble with doing tasks most people can do, so it is fun to think about different yanderes making you do baby-level math worksheets, or French vocab sheets and crosswords meant for little kids. Or having those grid papers to write Cantonese and Mandarin, or in your case with mommy Kakyoin, katakana. Why bother teaching you kanji or hiragana? You'll only be confused. And hiragana is more commonly used-- he doesn't need you knowing what common signs and objects actually say. Then you won't feel as lost, should you manage to slip away from his hands for a moment.

Diavolo knows worksheets aren't any fun-- he'd give everything to not have to do them, and still know the people he cares about would be okay. So instead of a little duotang with worksheets for your math, linguistics, or animal noises, Diavolo tries to set up little activities for you to do every day. Little trays with a number of the day, clay in one dish so you can draw the number yourself, roll it on a die, and count it out of marbles. Calling an animal handler to show you the different birds and bugs of the devildom in the throne room (and saving trips to the royal zoo for weeks you've been extra good!).

#I'm wondering what would be more advantageous (by which I mean less helpful) to teach someone in japanese? Katakana? Hiragana? Kanji? #they're ALL used #but some are more grown up than a little kid that still needs Kakyoin for everything #Most old documents are written in katakana. You'd sound so old. Like a little kid that still says “gee willikers batman” #but granted you'd typically mix katakana and hiragana AND kanji in a sentence and coversation #so if he really wanted to nerf you he would only teach you how to spell one way #Kanji is hard to learn (in my opinion just reading this) but if you learn 1000 words you can just suss out what most things say #oh don't get me started on the SLANG #man what a high pressure environment to learn a language... Kak is also such a menace if you lash out or get frustrated #man DEF teaches you the wrong words for things on purpose. #cellphone anon #anon confession #yandere agere #yandere daddy diavolo #yandere mommy kakyoin

Japanese word of the day

いってらっしゃい (Hiragana)

行ってらっしゃい (Kanji)

pronunciation - itte-rashai

Meaning - have a good day or see you later.

Used with - family members leaving house, colleagues going for work trip, meetings etc.,

If you want to learn a bit more about the history of this word, please read more!

いっしょに日本語をべんきょうする！がんばってください！

Translation: let's study Japanese together! Let's work hard together!

Romanji: issho ni nihongo o benkyou suru! Gambatte kudasai!

I recently found out that this word which has come to mean have a good day, literally translates to "Go and come back!"

Basically the 行って (pronunciation: itte) means Go (or Journey, you will see this 行 Kanji in almost every sentence where something is leaving, going somewhere for example 行ってきます meaning "I'm going!') and (い) らしゃい (pronunciation: irashai) means come or welcome back

Basically,

行って + (い) らしゃい = Go + come back

Ko-San on Instagram explained it very well. The explanation goes like this -

In ancient Japan since there was no world order, anyone leaving on a work trip, or anything else from the village could die for various reasons. And Japanese people were firm believers of the power of words, this belief is called Kotodama. Therefore, by saying "Go and come back!" they are wishing their loved ones or colleagues a good journey.

First thing first · kana

(⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧ essential

It is a must, before you begin your journey in studying japanese, to be fully able to read, understand and write hiragana and katakana.

In my post I would hardly use romanji, since I think they're counterproductive. Even though my blog is beginner friendly (as myself!) I think it's essential to know how to read and write these two alphabets.

What is kana

Kana is essentially the Japanese alphabet. Each kana character represents one syllable. There are two sets of kana, which means there are two different Japanese scripts based on syllabaries: hiragana (ひらがな) and katakana (カタカナ). Both hiragana and katakana were originally derived from kanji characters. Hiragana and katakana are literally the ABCs of Japanese. They're the most basic types of Japanese characters and essential parts of the Japanese language. Learning these two types of characters is often the very first step to learning Japanese, too.

Why not romanji?

Romanization can indeed make one's learning process less effective. When you rely heavily on romanji, your brain tends to lean on the Latin alphabet that you're already familiar with, potentially hindering your ability to fully grasp hiragana and katakana. That's why I encourage minimizing the use of romanji in your studies, except when it's absolutely necessary. Making a conscious effort to read and engage with kana is a more fruitful approach.

Hiragana

Hiragana is the first writing system learned by Japanese children, and thus is often the recommended system for non-Japanese to learn first, as well. 

Katakana

Katakana may not be used as extensively as hiragana, but it provides an interesting advantage to English speakers. Gairaigo (外来語), or borrowed words, is primarily written in katakana so katakana characters are mainly used to write foreign names, corporate branding, western loanwords and onomatopoeic words.

Free resources

JOSHU - interactive tables, stroke order, audio, flashcards, practice sheets, practice quizzes.

Japanese Pod 101 - Kana eBook, video lesson (try 10 Days Hiragana Challenge and 10 Days Katakana Challenge) plus Learn Hiragana in 1 hour and Learn Katakana in 1 hour

Tofugu - I really reccomend check this article out, becaus it's a more in depth article with tons of other possible useful resoures!

App - there are several apps for iOS/Android, such as: Dr. Moku, Hiragana/Katakana Memory Hint, Write it! Japanese (and many more...)

Writing and Reading practice - I personally recommend this video from this playlist (also useful) for the reading practice and this one for the writing.

The Best Method?

There isn't, in fact, a "best method" to learn kana. As every other thing, you need to learn at your own pace and with the method that best suits you. My method was just writing kana endlessly and repetition, trying to hear words and write them and/or read them (as the last point of the free resources). But everyone is different, so I recommend to try different methods out! Don't hesitate to ask question, recommend other resources or simply interact!
