Yes, quite correct. Katakana and Hirigana are two sets of characters used in the Japanese language. Hirigana is used for native Japanese words and Katakana is used for foreign words used in a Japanese environment. More advanced characters called Kanji are used for abbreviations of Japanese words but god, I don't understand them![]()

Learn something here:
hiragana, katakana and kanji
Wow cool app...
This is a nice flash card system.
Thank you.
Japanese is a hard language to learn
I have been trying for almost 10 years and still know little.
Japanese can tell you that they study it all their lives and can still know very little.
The Japanese language is comprised of thousands of symbols.
While the English alphabet has 26.
Did you think English class was hard? lol!
Learn another language and you learn more than you can imagine about your own.
what about Korean is that hard to learn? I wanna learn either Korean or Japanese and right now i dont really feel like learning 50,000 words or phrases...
Thanks a bunch, I was just getting bored with the audio lessons I listen to in my car. :thumbup:
It's funny because some things in Japanese are so much more complicated than English, for example the writing system. And yet other things are so much simpler, for example verb conjugation and spelling. So far I'm really enjoying learning Japanese! ^__^
japan letters =)
Korean is even worse. They adapted most of their characters from Chinese Kanji. If you want to learn an Asian language, then start off with Japanese. Learn Katakana and Hiragana and you will be able to play lots of imports. Kanji is scarce in Japanese, you can usally tell what's going on as long as you can read the kana/hira parts of it.
