To anyone who feels overwhelmed looking at hiragana, I had them memorized in 8 hours. I could comfortably read any kana in 2 weeks. You just have to stick to it.

@JustinK0 4 года назад

i dont understand when someone says hiragana is too hard. When i say its easy i dont mean i looked over them once and memorized them instantly but just Spaced repetition over a day then you can practice reading from there. Same with Katakana.

@Omgong_444 4 года назад

If you watch the Harigana alphabet in a children's nursery rhyms its catching and I listened to it for like an hour while searching up words and now I memorized the whole entire thing ;-;

@hayhay713 3 года назад

Thank you. I’ve only memorized the first 5. A I E U O. But that’s kinda my fault cause I stopped when I got passed those so now I have to circle back. This gave me some confidence in myself. Hopefully I will stick to it.

@chikannnn 3 года назад

if you're learning kana, stick with me when I say : use mnemonics to memorize them. japanesepod101 youtube channel has a full, detailed guide on learning kana that uses mnemonics. it speeds up the process and makes it stick.

@hollyrayl9863 4 года назад

When I first started learning Japanese by myself, I was 10 years old, and it was 1998. The only resources I had were a Japanese dictionary and a thin book showing the stroke order of each kana character. For what I would estimate now to be about 3 or 4 months or so, I carried that second book and a few sheets of loose leaf paper around with me everywhere, and whenever I had some spare time, I would just copy one character over and over and over like a kindergartner. I think that's what gave me such a strong understanding of kana.

@PierceArner 4 года назад

One of the biggest helps for me when learning hiragana was practicing writing them as I learned them. Internalizing the stroke order as a part of learning new symbols helps a lot with remembering them, because there's a physical association that you don't get just looking at them on flash cards - and it also prepares you for that same kind of memorization practice with kanji.

@petherpettersson6152 4 года назад

One thing I thought was very interesting when I learned japanese is that the teacher explained why the は is pronounced wa is that when は is used as a particle, it is pronounced that way. For example, こんにちは is simply a shortened part of a longer sentence(don't have it memorized), and thus the は is a particle in a sentence. It offers a better understanding than 'it just is'.

But I don't want to forget the hirigana that I already learned since I do hope to pick japanese back up again in the future. This was a great refresher, and also explained the system in a way that was really concise and easy to understand for beginners, yet in depth at the same time. I really wish I had this video a year ago 😅.
