Course Overview

Read and Write Japanese: Comprehensive Hiragana and Katakana

Complete step-by-step instruction on how to properly write Hiragana and Katakana the way it's taught in Japanese schools

The goal of this course is to teach you Hiragana and Katakana the RIGHT way. The way it's taught in Japanese schools.

This course is good for anyone interested in taking their Japanese to the next level. A lot of textbooks don't give exact instructions on how to write these characters. They just show you the character and expect you to figure out everything on your own.

The purpose of this course is to take different approach - to really walk you through all the characters while holding your hand (not in a weird way! :D )

Riko-chan - our native speaker - has been overseeing the entire course so all of the content is genuine. She also prepared practice sheets which you can use to improve your handwriting.

The entire course is basically a video course. Plus you're getting the mentioned practice sheets in JPG format which you can print out.

In Module 1 we'll teach you Hiragana.

In Module 2 we'll move onto Katakana, and we'll show you how to write your name in Japanese.

In Bonus Module we'll teach you 22 Kanji characters (numbers 1-10, and the 12 Animals of the Japanese Zodiac).

Throughout the course we'll teach you well over 300 words.

Flashcards to help you practice reading the characters are available for downloading as well.

Anyone aiming to write correctly, be able to read manga (world-wide popular Japanese comic books), children's books and eventually novels and newspapers will benefit greatly from this course.

    The writing and speech are not in sync. The word should remain for a 2 more seconds for the learner to comprehend.
