The Japanese writing system is made up of three different scripts: hiragana, katakana, and kanji. In addition to these three scripts, the Japanese writing system also includes the use of romaji, or the Romanization of Japanese, for certain purposes such as inputting Japanese text on a keyboard for computer or phone and to read and pronounce words correctly.
Before diving into the complexities of hiragana, we highly suggest starting with romaji. Romaji uses the Roman alphabet to represent Japanese words, will aid in reading and pronunciation and make typing in Japanese on your computer or phone a breeze. By mastering romaji first, you'll have a solid foundation to build upon as you continue your Japanese language journey.
Hiragana is the main phonetic writing system used to represent every distinct sound in Japanese. We recommend you to learn hiragana first, and also, learn how to pronounce all these in the Japanese language.
Katakana has the same sounds as hiragana. It is mainly used to represent words imported from other languages; such as "Website", "Google", "Banana", and people's names, etc.
Most words in Japanese are written in kanji. Kanji are Chinese characters adapted for Japanese. They are heavily used in writing, and it has been evolving with Japan’s culture over the years.
A writing meditation will help you clear your mind, and connect to your inner self. It can also be used as a way to work through some of the emotions that you are feeling in the moment.
