Bad and Good Hiragana handwriting | for beginners | improve your Japanese handwriting Instagram ： / tohgutakumi #JapaneseHandwriting #HiraganaHandwriting #Satisfying
Just some guy with a Sword some do while others don’t. If you look at the video “How a native Japanese writes Hiragana”, you’ll see that she writes hers way easier and she don’t include those beautiful strokes
Ever since i started learning japanese i have been super scared that people wouldn’t see what i was writing or that it was absolutely horrible, so this was a really big help. Thank you!
I know you're more than 3 years in by now, but in writing I found it's best to learn how to write characters with clarity and improve your speed from there.
I was wondering, is the left side more "accurate"? But accurate as how people write in their *daily life*. Because sure, I can spend time writing perfect latin letters but most of the times I just write quickly and "badly". But it's not wrong either; anyone can read the notes I take during lectures even if the handwriting is so called bad edit: basically if I enter a Japanese person's room am I more likely to see left or right handwritting? Or are you showcasing common westerner mistakes when trying to write too fast?
I wholeheartedly believe it's both. I read somewhere that it's good to learn to write the kana and kanji properly when learning to read them because you will come across a lot of chicken scratch. I now know that while practicing, my handwriting kana is not that bad.
somewhere in-between. Probably not as messy but normal people don't write slowly either. Practice writing quickly is helpful once you have practiced the right way to death.
IME and according to my teacher, it's a halfway of both, in both speed and legibility. Just like real writing in any, language is a halfway between shorthand (left) and calligraphy (right). I write my kana about twice as fast as Takumi-sensei writes on the right side here. I can go faster if pressured, but not by much, because I want my writing to be legible above all. When I started taking classes (a few months after following online courses for several months and practicing kana A LOT), the class immediately after I turned in my first piece of homework, the teacher stopped the revision at one point to compliment my handwriting as one of the best he had ever seen. I WAS IN THE CLOUDS. ☺️ Only one he didn't think was so hot was the [ む ] because of the position of the tick at the top, so I rectified that one.
Quick question: what is the intended application of this kind of thing? Is it intended to practice correct letter form, and not intended for real world use? Because while the letters do look much better, there is no way writing that slowly and carefully is practical in real life. And as much as I'd like to think I'd be able to write that well while also writing fast, my English language handwriting (a language I've been writing since before I can remember) tells me otherwise. Not that I think that the letters on the left are legible, but the letters on the right are likely out of what I'd ever be able to achieve in normal handwriting.
Do people really write like the bad examples on the left?? ...wow, suddenly I feel more confident about my handwriting as a Westerner. I'm very afraid of writing poorly, because I want to show that I have deep respect for the writing system and the language.
Usually i use the "right" type of writing but i write much faster so it's look like you comparing to mom's friend's son. It's still not bad and readble.
My sister just got a correction from the teacher on her Japanese homework for writing さ connected lmao I think it's perfectly fine in normal usage but it's 'technically not meant to look like that'
Yes it is. Following the stroke order makes sure your kana always keep the same proportions, and it's the fastest and most movement-efficient way to go about the strokes. Plus it's excellent practice for when you get into kanji.
