"Learning Hiragana and Katakana" is a systematic and comprehensive
Japanese workbook that can be used along with a Japanese language
textbook or as a stand-alone resource to learn the Japanese
alphabet ("kana").
Written Japanese combines three different types of characters: the
Chinese characters known as kanji, and two Japanese sets of
phonetic letters, hiragana and katakana, known collectively as
kana, that must be mastered before the Japanese kanji can be
learned. For students learning Japanese who wish to understand the
basics of reading and writing Japanese kanji and kana, "Learning
Japanese Hiragana and Katakana," a best-selling book since 1990, is
a favorite tool of students and teachers worldwide. The new third
edition has been expanded and revised to include many additional
reading and writing exercises. Accompanying online recordings
demonstrate the correct pronunciation of all the characters,
vocabulary, and sentences in the book.
"Learning Japanese Hiragana and Katakana" provides beginning-level
students of Japanese a thorough grounding in the basic hiragana and
katakana phonetic symbols or syllabaries. A comprehensive
introduction presents their basic function, origin, pronunciation
and usage. The main body of the book is devoted to presenting the
92 hira and kata characters along with their variations, giving
step-by-step guidelines on how to write each character neatly in
the correct stroke order, with plentiful practice spaces provided
for handwriting practice.
Interspersed among the practice pages are regular review sections
containing reading and writing exercises designed to help the
reader consolidate the meaning and usage of newly introduced
characters. This is essential to read Japanese as well as to write
Japanese. Additional practice sections at the end of each chapter
and at the end of the book provide fun exercises, quizzes, and
extended reading and writing practice to help beginning Japanese
language students take their first steps toward attaining fluency
in reading and writing Japanese. This workbook is a perfect
companion to Tuttle Publishing's "Japanese Hiragana & Katakana
for Beginners" or any other Japanese textbook on the market and is
an essential reference tool to learn Japanese.
This workbook includes: Systematic and comprehensive coverage of
the two Japanese kana systems. Ample provision for Japanese kana
practice, review, and self-testing at several levels"Detailed
reference section explaining the origin and function of kana, and
the various kana combinations. Access to online Japanese audio
files to aid in correct pronunciation. Helpful additional
information for language students accustomed to romanized Japanese.
Vocabulary selected for usefulness and cultural relevance.
