Anyone??????

[Chorismo]

a tip is just to write down the hiragana sign on a little paper and the pronounciation on the back, and then you flip between all your cards with one character on each card. Works really great, that's the way I used when I learned em and use now when learning kanji. If you are missing all hiragana characters or any katakana when you wanna learn them I can email you them. Good luck.

I just remembered I also have handwritten step by step, how to write em on paper, can maybe scan those papers and mail you.

Here's a good step by step set of instructions, on how to write each character. http://www.learn-japanese.info/writing/writing_aiueo.html

Oh Trust me I dont need to learn Hiragana I need to find Interesting Exercises for kids to learn..

LIKE Kanji Takurajima..... but for Hiragana

[mr_shadow]

Kanji is ALOT easier to learn (theres just alot more of em). If i see a Kanji once and get an explaination of what it means, i pretty much know it. Cuz their like little pictures of the words (sort o)

I hope you are not being sarcastic about kanji. Sure, some kanji have shapes & 'picture' that are easy to associate with the meanings. While the meaning is easy to remember, the number & order of strokes are important to write it correctly.

I find the kana tables easier than kanji - Fewer strokes & single sound for each. Writing the kana out & repeat, with the sound, until you remember. :amuse

I find hiragana a little more difficult than katakana, just because it seemed like each string of vowels/consonents seemed to have a "theme" or some sort of pattern that made them recognizable. The kanji I just use notecards with the stroke order at the bottom of the card and the definition and usage on the back along with the pronunciation.

[mr_shadow]

Yeah, WRITING Kanji is something different. I was talking about learning to read it

[mgrace]

So does anyone know where I can find Hiragana Takarajima files on the internet????

HELP

I have a few ways to help for certain symbols:

た Looks a lot like its english counterpart, "ta"
を Looks like ち but a bit cut off and an extra "c"
Be sure to learn the difference between れ (re)　わ (wa)　and ね (ne). Also it helps to know め (me) and　ぬ (nu).
ら Reminds me of a cheerleader yelling "ra, ra, ra!" Also a 5
Learn む (mu) as well, since you won't be using it for writing right away.
き looks like a key

Hope that helps.

Hope that helps.

I did that too, but I don't do it with kanji, maybe I should, my desk is bombarded with kanji sheets, I put kanjis on post its and stick them on the wall, using them in sentances helps too.

Learning what each symbol means is one thing, but the next stage is practising your knowledge, i'm trying to increase my speed reading hiragana, then looking at the text and finding words you recognize the sound of so you can understand it.

there are more than one thing to learn about a kanji

what it looks like
whether it's an onyomi or kunyomi
how to pronounce it
what it means in english

the 3rd step is easier than the first 2. it's hard remembering the sounds of the kanji, unless it's kunyomi. I hate it when there is a symbol i can recognise put with another kanji i can't, i can't complete the word. I don't know the kunyomi and onyomi of every kanji i learn, just which ones are necessary for understanding it, if it's grouped in the word, i'd learn the onyomi as most kanjis are. but now next to a kanji instead of the english translation i put the romanji translation, so I can say it as well as know what it means.

I would just try writing the whole table and then look up the ones I couldn't. Then I would write it again, and see which ones I still couldn't get. Then continue rewriting it until I got them all. Sometimes is took 10 tries.
