Hiragana 1
When I first considered learning Japanese, I heard "3 alphabets" and just sort of noped right out of there. It does still seem like a lot, but the point is not boxing yourself in to having to learn all of it all at once.
We have been learning them in blocks of 10-15 per week, while also learning vocab and phrases. Writing the words and phrases out in our English alphabet has taken some getting used to, especially since the book uses a slightly different system than I am used to seeing online. (Ex: Sensee instead of Sensei).
Pictured above is some free printouts that I found on Google. It should be the first/second result for "Hiragana worksheet" But here's a link.
Writing the characters out this many times certainly helps, but I still feel like I need more practice. I'm also... A bit extra. So I got this brush tip marker to use for aesthetic.
The letters just look better when I write it with this, so that makes me pretty happy.
Despite having worksheets and even gifs that show you how to write the letters, you'd be surprised (or maybe not) at how many things you can get wrong. Although my teacher did say she was being picky, it's better to learn it the right way first anyhow.
I'll probably just make a post or two for the finicky letters, and then start getting into grammar! I'm excited to share what I've been learning!
Signing off for now. Happy Learning!
