For Absolute Beginners | Japanese Writing

Before we get you started learning to read and write, you might be interested in these topics. First, we show you the basics of Japanese writing. Then, we set the facts straight about stroke order. Thirdly, we introduce you to something that technically applies to hiragana as well, but should prepare you for what you’ll need to eventually learn. And, finally, we illustrate how much you can do with just the first five vowels! It’s much more encouraging to know how much you can do with each small step in learning to write in Japanese.
