I'm no longer adding in romaji in hopes that within these last three weeks, you have memorized hiragana.

  • Ah, question!

    I've been trying very hard to memorize Hiragana but I cannot seem to make it stick in my brain! How did you memorize it?

  • Hi Brittney,

    Rewriting the characters over and over again should help burn it into your brain. Some people like flash cards but by rewriting it, it forces you remember how it looks and helps you practice your penmanship.

    Also reading Japanese picture books You can find some picture books on Ebay, or if you live in/near NYC or LA, Book Off or Kinokuniya. Picture books will help you to recognize symbols as well as retain vocabulary by seeing and relating the word to the pictures.

  • I love this your an natural teacher. Please slow down though especially on the first two lessons. you should put this out for real on DVD, I would buy it instantly. Love everything about Japan and I have been thinking about getting on a really good course. Come on Eishaay a book and DVD just do it as an ebook you would make a fortune.
