Description

Embark on your journey to mastering Japanese with our 'First Step Japanese Character' course, focused on hiragana and katakana—the foundational scripts of Japanese writing. Learning these characters is essential, as they are the building blocks for reading, writing, and correct pronunciation in Japanese. This course will not only teach you to write each character with precise stroke order but will also equip you with the skills to pronounce them accurately, setting you on the path to mastering these crucial Japanese scripts.

Later in the course, our experienced tutor, Ayana, will introduce interactive flashcards to create a dynamic classroom atmosphere. This method helps solidify your knowledge and enhances your ability to recall hiragana and katakana effectively.


Achieving mastery over these scripts can take anywhere from one week to several months, depending on your dedication and individual learning pace. A solid understanding of hiragana and katakana is indispensable for progressing in Japanese, as it lays the groundwork for advanced studies and everyday communication in the language.
