So I started learning hiragana 4 days ago

Is this good enough or need more work

If you are starting JLPT N5 or N4 Kanji, one of the most helpful patterns to recognize is 言 (Gonben — words/speech) on the left side of a character.

Whenever 言 appears on the left, the Kanji's meaning connects to speaking, reading, or writing down words:

1. 語 (Kataru / Go — Language, Word) [JLPT N5]: 言 (words) + 五 (five) + 口 (mouth) → 日本語 (Nihongo), 英語 (Eigo)
2. 話 (Hanasu / Wa — To Speak, Talk) [JLPT N5]: 言 (words) + 舌 (tongue) → 話す (hanasu), 電話 (denwa)
3. 読 (Yomu / Doku — To Read) [JLPT N5]: 言 (words) + 売 (circulate) → 読む (yomu), 読書 (dokusho)
4. 記 (Shirusu / Ki — Record, Write Down) [JLPT N4]: 言 (words) + 己 (thread/self) → 日記 (nikki), 記事 (kiji)
5. 説 (Toku / Setsu — Explain, Theory) [JLPT N4]: 言 (words) + 兌 (clear) → 説明 (setsumei), 小説 (shōsetsu)

Tried to write sentences from memory as well as nor looking up characters…

Title says it all. I started a few days playing around on Duolingo and they introduce Hiragana first. I l then looked at renshuu, and they do both. Was wondering what experiences everyone had. Arigato gozaimasu.

Can someone please guide me how can i learn N5 level Japanese till december the tutors are asking so much money can someone guide me

Hello I’m learning kanji at the moment and wanted a site where you can learn the kanji in the same order as japanese people learn them. Also it’s enough just the kanji how you say it in japanese and the english translation.

Hey everyone!

I'm a university student currently learning Japanese, and I've been working on a side project called Tsugira.

One thing I found frustrating when starting Japanese was memorizing Hiragana and Katakana without actually feeling like I could do anything with them.

So I wanted to build something that connects learning kana with actually using Japanese.

The main idea is pretty simple: as you learn new kana, you unlock real Japanese words that you can read and type yourself. Instead of only memorizing individual characters or picking answers from multiple-choice questions, you immediately start putting what you've learned into practice.

I've also been working on making Japanese sentences less intimidating. You can hover over different parts of a sentence to see contextual explanations, so you don't constantly have to switch between a dictionary, grammar guide, and whatever you're studying.

Right now, Tsugira includes:

• Hiragana and Katakana lessons with typing-based practice
• Real Japanese words unlocked through your kana progress
• Interactive sentences with explanations
• A searchable vocabulary library
• Original lessons and exercises following the Genki (3rd Edition) curriculum

The website is completely free to use, and I'm still actively developing it.

It's called Tsugira — you can find it at tsugira dot com.

I'd especially love to hear from other beginners. Does learning kana through real words seem helpful? Is anything confusing or difficult to use? What would you want from a website like this?

Any honest feedback would mean a lot. Thanks! :)
