Difference between revisions of "Learn to Read Japanese"

{{fa}}Japanese is made up of three unique writing systems: hiragana (ひらがな), katakana (カタカナ), and kanji (漢字). Additionally, Japanese can be written in English script, called Romaji (ローマ字), which is frequently used by beginning learners. Hiragana and katakana are syllabaries, which means each character/letter represents a full syllable. Kanji are symbols that represent an idea or concept. These can have many different readings depending on context, unlike hiragana, katakana and Romaji, which are always read the same. Reading Japanese may seem daunting at first, but with a little effort, practice, and a few tricks, you'll be reading simple Japanese in no time.
