Hiragana for beginners! Let's learn how to write and say Japanese Hiragana Characters

Hello!

This is a fun and simple class for those who really love Japanese and want to learn the basics of Hiragana. Japanese has three different writing systems: Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji (Chinese characters). This class is just the basic alphabet: Hiragana. We will learn how to write the characters properly, and read them. We can also practice forming words with the Hiragana characters.

I lived in Japan for 3 years and can speak Japanese at an intermediate level.

Let's learn Japanese together!

For beginners learning Japanese for the first time: I use beginner-level textbooks to teach Japanese from scratch. For those aiming to pass the JLPT: We will learn grammar, vocabulary, and other essential skills together to help you achieve your goal.
