【Beginner】Japanese Writing System

What is Hiragana? What is Katakana? What is Kanji? There are so many!!!!

There are three ways of writing in Japanese which are hiragana, katakana and kanji. It might seem hard and you have to memorize a lot, but hiragana and katakana are pretty straight forward. You have a lot to memorize when it comes to kanji though. Let's just take a look at how they are and how it is used!

● ひらがな (Hiragana)

The most common and used letters.

● カタカナ (Katakana)

Letters to write foreign words in Japanese.

● 漢字 (かんじ/Kanji)

Chinese characters adopted by Japanese people. Most of the time, they are used alongside hiragana and katakana.
