How To Write Japanese
Japanese have been one the languages people want to learn. This may be because of being globally competitive. But aside from that, Japanese language is enjoyable to study about. Writing in Japanese first will require you to know its characters. There are four basic characters in Japanese language: katakana, hiragana, kanji and romanji. This could be quite confusing but you’ll get used to it for sure.
Katakana has 46 distinctive characters. It also has 5 vowels and could represent any sound in Japanese. Moreover, it is said that katakana is the easiest to express of the four. Next is the Hiragana. This is the first one that schools teach to Japanese children. Just like katakana, it has 46 characters, each one with a counterpart in katakana. It is used to express simple words and conjunctions. The third way to write in Japanese is to write kanji. This is the most complicated of the four characters. This is brought by the Buddhist monks and originated from Chinese characters. It is commonly used to write names of places and people. Last is the romanji which may be the most popular to everyone because it takes on roman numerals. It used to express words that did not originated from Japan, in short, borrowed words. Of the four basic characters, kanji is the hardest to write and hiragana works the opposite.
In writing Japanese, make your characters smooth. Avoid being choppy or making them so big or so small. It is understandable that you won’t perfect it on the start. But be patient, learning ABC also was learned in an instant.
