Japanese writing systems ✍️
Your Japanese learning begins with the first alphabet -
Hiragana. You will learn 46 characters. Along with this, you
will learn basic grammar and be able to create simple sentences.
After that, you will begin to learn the second alphabet -
Katakana. This will take about a month and will build a great
base to continue your language journey!
Grammar 📝
Japanese grammar is very different from English. But that
doesn't mean it's hard! In our course, we will teach you the
basics and gradually move on to more complex grammatical
structures. You will not only begin to think in Japanese, but
also develop the flexibility of thinking, which will be useful
to you not only in language classes.
Kanji 🈷️
Kanji are Japanese symbols that represent whole words. Kanji
symbols can stand alone, or combine with other kanji or kana to
create more words, ideas, or turn a kanji into a verb. Their
pronunciation and readings vary based on what other kanji or
kana they’re connected with — that’s the difficult part. The
easy part is that they make reading easier. Even if you don’t
know how to pronounce the kanji, if you recognize it’s word
meaning, you can get the idea of the sentence. After our Basics
Japanese Course you will be able to recognize and read up to 300
kanji! Isn`t it cool?
