Hinweis der Redaktion
writing Japanese with the latin alphabet is called romanization. Japanese people use hiragana and katakana and kanaji to write japanese, and they arent always ableto write romanized japanese
romanization is used mainly for non-japanese.
basically. consonants must be followerd by voweles in Japanese.
by the end of this session, you will be able to write a I u e o in hiragana
hiragana is the japanese alphabet that represents all of sound of japanese language and is used to write native Japanese words and various grammatical functions
I will show 46 basic hiragana characters this time, and in the following lesson I will introduce how to write them
