Mastering written Japanese begins with hands-on practice, and Writing Japanese Hiragana offers the perfect starting point. With a spacious, easy-to-use format, this workbook encourages students to dive right in and start learning. Written Japanese combines three scripts: the phonetic syllabaries hiragana and katakana, along with kanji characters derived from Chinese ideographs. This workbook zeroes in on the forty-six basic hiragana characters, used for native Japanese words not represented by kanji. A solid grasp of hiragana is essential for any dedicated Japanese learner. Each hiragana character is presented in brushed, handwritten, and typed formats to boost recognition and understanding. Generous writing space allows for ample practice, ensuring each character is memorized accurately and confidently. Charming illustrations and engaging onomatopoeic examples make learning interactive and enjoyable, reinforcing character retention through a fun, memorable approach. Ideal for both young learners and adults new to Japanese, Writing Japanese Hiragana includes: Grayed-out, trace-over characters for guided practice Practice sentences to reinforce retention Brief insights into each character's origins, helping foster visual recall This workbook offers an effective, hands-on introduction to hiragana, making it a valuable tool for beginners of all ages. Review: This Book Is For SERIOUS Learners, and - I am writing this review on my mum's account ( I got these books April 14, 2012) When i started learning japanese i got these books: Japanese Hiragana: An introductory japanese language workbook Kodansha's Hiragana workbook Japanese Hiragana for Beginners (Highly Recommend for you to use as your first book) HOW I USED THE BOOK, AND HOW IT's HELPFUL: The fist book I started Was Japanese Hiragana For beginners, I fell in love with that book, and as a review of what I learned in that book, i used Kodansha's. When I finished those books, i started this book. Of course when i bought it people were like This book is SOOOO boring, and you would get bored quickly(from the reviews i meaan). I bought it anyway. I LOVED THIS BOOK. It was a great way for review, and it helped me get a grasp on sentence structure, and in the back it has Practice boxes so you can just practice. Yes, i can see how this book can get boring, but if your serious about learning this book is really helpful. I would NOT reccomend this book if you know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about hiragana. I would recommend this book as a review, or second learning hiragana book. Overall, i loved this book, but if you have short patience level, maybe this book isn't for you. This book has a good bit of repetition, but i think that, that is helpful towards memorizing hiragana. NOW: Now, 3 months later i can read hiragana at an Advanced level, i would say i know it, like i know my ABC's. You can see how these books helped me, and my learning :) p.s Get the book Review: Nice! - Hubby wanted to start something new!! Full support him!

Helps so much
I have two kids learning Japanese. My now 10 year old started when he was 8. He was able to write hiragana perfectly from the beginning. Amazing and a little upsetting for his sister who is 17 now but 15 when she started learning Japanese. She had a hard time writing most hiragana. She finally asked for some kind of book or something. I found this and thought it looked good. When I have it to her, her eye lit up and she held it close. She has been practicing often and it has helped her so much. I am going to have to practice now too as my 10 yr old wants to give me writing hiragana quizzes.

Great workbook
I use this as a side study to accompany textbooks and Duolingo on the basis that you need as many different angles as possible to help learn a new language. As a calligrapher too, making the shapes of the Hiragana pictographs is calming and meditative somehow. The idea of repetition with sound is vital for me and this workbook allows this.

Recommended to all people who wish to learn Hiragana.
Perfect for beginners to the Japanese language. Great tool for practicing Hiragana. Not a primary book for learning the language, but great for supplementing a class. Thank you very much, my order arrived before its due date and I am really happy.

Good Workbook to learn Hiragana
good workbook, writing is the only way to learn the Japanese script. You have to fill all the blanks in this workbook, at least that is my aim. I gotta learn Japanese, but one step at a time. After this, there is Katakana, and then 2200 Kanji characters to learn!!!
