There are three types of letters in Japanese.

1. Hiragana (phonetic sounds) are basically used for particles, words and parts

of words.

2. Katakana (phonetic sounds) are basically used for foreign/loan words.

3. Kanji (Chinese characters) are used for the stem of words and convey the

meaning as well as sound. Hiragana is basically used to express 46 different sounds used in the Japanese language. We suggest you start learning Hiragana, then Katakana and then Kanji. If you learn Hiragana first, it will be easier to learn Katakana next. Hiragana will help you learn Japanese pronunciation properly, read Japanese beginners' textbooks and write sentences in Japanese. Japanese will become a lot easier to study after having learned Hiragana. Also, as you will be able to write sentences in Japanese, you will be able to write E-mails in Hiragana. Katakana will help you read Japanese menus at restaurants. Hiragana and Katakana will be a good help to your Japanese study and comfortable living in

Japan.

To master Hiragana, it is important to practice writing Hiragana. Revision is also very important - please go over what you have learned several times.
