If you're new to learning the Japanese way of writing, know that there are four types of writing that is used in Japanese: Kanji, hiragana, katakana, and Romaji, which is the Latin alphabet that we all already know. Hiragana and katakana altogether is referred to as kana.
If I were to pick which one of these four that I enjoyed learning the most, it would definitely be hiragana. Mostly because of their aesthetic appearance, and how they're just so distinctly Japanese. So hiragana is what I'll be featuring in this post.
I learned these the generic way too - PRACTICE. Really, I too wished I had an amazing shortcut to store all these characters in my head at once.
Well, without further ado, let me expose you to the wondrous characters of hiragana!
