I am taking Japanese now and our teacher does it like this: hiragana, kanji, katakana. We have now finished the hiragana and we will now have a test. Our teacher is native Japanese.

@marshmallow054 The difference is very easy. Japanese uses three alphabets: hiragana, katakana and kanji. All are necessary to learn in order to be literate in Japanese. For beginners and young children it is advised to learn hiragana (ひらがな）which is a phonetic alphabet and children's books are actually written in hiragana. The second easiest alphabet is katakana (カタカナ) which is used to write foreign names only. Kanji （漢字）or Chinese characters are the hardest to learn.

THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH FOR THIS I NEEDED IT! THANK YOU THANK YOU!

lol i'm trying so hard to understand japanese but it's very hard when you only know english and spanish. . but i won't give up

Thank you so much!

@MsAnimelover4life Thanks, I really tried to copy a native speaker!

Arigato this helped me alot. ^-^

Those are combinations of these. The last combination system is only known as sounds and is not a part of the "alphabet".

@dreamyfishXD A Japanese word can be made up using kanji or hiragana, only kanji and only hiragana or katakana, if that's what you mean. Anyway hiragana and katakana 'alphabets' are actually syllabaries which means that one Japanese 'letter' would equal one English syllable (like in hi-ra-ga-na would be written using 4 letters ひ-ら-が-な). If only that was what you meant in your question.

Actually, I found it quite easy to learn both at the same time. I just printed a few sheets of each line (first two rows such as Ka and Sa etc) then practice the strokes etc. Since they both have the same pronunciation this way was way faster to learn.

@AwsomeBestFriends No, unfortunately hiragana (like katakana) is Japanese phonetic alphabet (you pronounce as it's written) and kanji are Chinese characters that can be a little tricky to learn. I think they use both in manga, although they write small hiragana on top of kanji (called furigana) to help you read them. I hope I didn't make it more confusing :)

ありがと！！

@corenaheartsyou Katakana is used only for foreign words, so Hiragana, I guess is used more.

Glad it helps!

I'm happy!

@MsAnimelover4life Thanks and that's a great wish!

@Aderain005 This one is definitely "fu" (ふ). "Ju" would be written as じゅ (ju) or　じゅう (juu).

@StormRiderZX To learn writing you have to write a lot. Try to get a Japanese textbook and copy words in hiragana first, say them aloud while you're writing, then do the same with katakana. It is hard to remember them separately but easy if you write them in a word.

Sorry, I just wanna know is a word make up of several alphabets together, like english?

@EmmieDragon It would be エミリー which is pronounced "Emirī," or "Em-ee-ree," basically. It isn't really an "r" sound as much as a soft "L."

In a way me too!

nice

i feel stupid =.= i feel as if i was in kindergarten HELP!

@xxIVIooIVIoofarmzxx If you want to say "I am" in Japanese, you wouldn't spell out the English words, you would use the Japanese words. Not all sounds in English can be made in Japanese -- actually, there are many sounds in English that can't be made/spelled in Japanese (which is one of the reasons why you'll see katakana words made specifically for new or foreign terms). If I wanted to say "I am Brandon," I could just say "Brandon desu," which basically means "Brandon I am." "Desu" (です).

i wonder how you would spell Emily in this language.....

@spartan2558 hhaha, same here :3

@WithxMyxUnseeingxEye lol my friend is chinese too and she is forcing me to teach her japanese (i already know it). She is going to have the same problems ^-^

me too :(

I don't get this, the Japanese alphabet has more letters then the English alphabet

Do we HAVE to learn Kanji if we're going to live in Japan? :|

Yes, almost everything on the street's or in the stores are written in Kanji. I would really recommend you to learn Kanji. I learned it in this order: Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji and then all the grammar. It worked great for me u just need some time, but believe me it's worth it.
