Your first real step into reading Japanese
Japanese writing runs on three systems, hiragana, katakana, and kanji, and hiragana is where nearly every learner starts, since it covers all the base sounds of the language. This course is built entirely around getting those characters down solidly before you move on.
What's included
Video lessons break down each character with a simple explanation plus visuals of stroke order and common font variations, so you're not just memorizing shapes but understanding how they're actually written and how they can look across different text. That's backed by over 150 practice words, plus downloadable practice sheets and Quizlet sets for review.
Who it's for
Complete beginners to Japanese, whether the goal is eventually living in Japan or simply understanding more of the language in the media you already enjoy. By the end, you'll have hiragana memorized and understand how the characters combine to form real words, the foundation everything else in Japanese builds on.
