Do THIS to Learn Hiragana and Katakana in 2 Hours

This is how I taught myself Hiragana and Katakana in 2 hours when I first started learning Japanese by myself 1 month ago.

Hiragana and Katakana are both extremely easy to learn and through the steps I give in this video, hopefully you will also be able to read Hiragana and Katakana in 2 hours.

The 2 free apps that I used make remembering Hiragana and Katakana fun and easy:

I am starting the Japanese learning - self learning. Native Vietnamese but studying Japanese in
English. Wish me luck, hopefully I wont give up lol. Your video is super helpful - thanks a ton.

I used a very, very similar method to learn the kana, but nothing solidified the connection more than writing and reading with them. Definitely a well made video in the sea of Japanese learning resources, and good to see that you stuck with it.

My old Japanese teacher taught me how to memorise the chart, it's a little chant that goes like akasa tana, hamaya rawa, n. Then you'll be able to fill in the rest of the kanas.

A really informational guide on learning Japanese. Gonna start learning tmrw since it is 3AM now

[EmiyaIsHere]

You know it's learning time when he posted this at 3 AM.

I have been trying to learn the hiragana for weeks!I knew some characters since I was young, but I couldn't memorize the rest, I followed what you said, it made a huge difference! I literally learned them in a few hours! I will start to do the same in katakana, but this time I know nothing about katakana...

[tamasfekete]

i just started learning the alphabets, yes after 3 years since the video came out, yet this video is very usefull, thank you^^ worth a follow

[oldmind]

I spend 3 days learning hiragana, thanks for ur method, i only need 1 day for katakana ❤

[edenheaven]

Just a tip lear both scripts together. When you learn them separately, the one you learn first and use the most will be strangest. Make chart with 2 boxes in each space. 1 k space one h space for each vowel consonant combination. I start with k first because you use it less. Binding the hiragana to the katakana makes you less likely to forget.

Starting learning yesterday I am proud that i can a few hiragana characters as of now. i havn't started katakana yet

[MatejSwag]

for IOS you should use Benkyō(half red half black icon) and sensei (green icon with yellow “japanese” text)

[casualchris]

I'm following everything you do in this video and other vids, from the apps and paper, thanks for making Japanese learning easy ❤

For those that need help with the variations of た -> だ or は -> ば and so forth. You can do this for almost all of them.
T -> D (ぢ = Ji) (づ = Zu)
K -> G
S -> Z (じ = Ji)
H -> B -> P
Notice all changes require a similar tongue movement or use of air as it’s base character. You’re not making new characters, you’re modifying them. This provides you with a logical structure to recall for learning or remembering.

Side-note, I recommend downloading the Japanese keyboard to your phone. It categorizes all characters by family. Simply hold down on a character and watch as the related characters pop up. This will also help in the same way with pronunciation marks.

when i learnt　だ(da)or any of the "d" when i knew all the t's i just thought of ta da because it sound similar and it sound like a magic trick being made hope i helped someone

[BlooddrinkersLupa]

I see what you did there with the last sentence 😊👏🏽

[musaabdullah]

i cant remember how to write them or what they even look like but when i see them i know the sounds basically perfectly

[-VaIhalla-]

FOR IOS. Sorry forgot if it was paid but I used "Kana - Hiragana and Katakana"

[NeilMyatt]

I think this is a lot easier for people who are naturally already fluent or native with Chinese, because drawing kana is quite different from writing Latin alphabet the way we are taught in the west. I think a few generations ago, (pre 1940s) western schools spent hours teaching a calligraphic approach, but I don’t think it’s given any real emphasis these days. Sadly.

[benrichardson]

Huh this is actually the method I thought of on my own. It's worked well so far.
